Antony Gormley's 'Filter' at Manchester Art Gallery. It is a life sized sculpture of a body, suspended from the ceiling. The way in which it turned slowly was interesting - it was suspended by one thread.

Gallery info says:

'Filter is made of mild steel rings welded together. This 'skin' acts as both a container of the body and as a space for our own thoughts and feelings. The sculpture's suspension suggests flight, levitation, or an "out of the body", spiritual experience. Inside is a form located in the place of the heart, symbolically associated with life, death and love.'
