Tried this, doesn't work. I can't passed the statues, I'm constantly transported back to the start.
First of all, have you
pressed the red button before the entrance?The unconscious body needs to be placed on the teleportation tile near the entrance, to the right. It worked for me, but maybe it's just a bug exploitation on my side?

I have figured out my problem with random teleportation: go to the fountain, stand on stone tile and you get teleported. This is one time event though. So it's impossible to do it twice in a row.
This is really huge mission. It took me 4 hours to beat. There is a lot of creativity (like changing areas when you have Mage Bracelet). I like guard placement and some surprise stuff (like chest with spiders or very fast opening and closing metal gate near a fountain which scared me a little). This is really well designed level, but there were few things I didn't like:
1. Lack of loot. Does Gort hate loot? There was many places in the mission that begged for placing there some loot. Currently most of optional paths are just empty dead ends. In bigger buildings there is a lot of empty rooms. If there is loot in the room then most of the time it is just one piece of loot and nothing else. I only saw two rooms in this huge mission with more than one piece of loot. What a generosity?
2. Random cutscene after leaving opera. It is 1 second long cutscene showing entrance to the opera. It really confused me. I checked opera again, but didn't find any change. Maybe it supposed to play when I was entering the opera and somehow I skipped that. I don't know.
3. Background door randomly opens with no indication and no reason. Player must know that something like that happened. It would be really good idea to have some scroll explaining why are you doing to the warehouse area. But there is nothing. This is another thing that really confused me.
4. I had random short slowdowns. Maybe my computer couldn't handle this mission. But this never happened before.
5. For some reason my discoveries count in Mage Guild starts from 2 when I get spotted. Unless maybe when I get spotted first time I don't get info about that. Maybe that's a case.

I have the same problem. Look at the body
- I managed to place it. But myself I cannot reach any of the plates, since the statues on the picture see me. And I have
pressed the button before entering.

:erg:Ummm... There is a clue that tells what you guys are suppose to use instead of a body. The clue is in a book in the spellcasters classroom.
BTW: You'll need to get to the side areas of that room by other means.

Is there a clue somewhere ?
I tried everything
rope-arrows, speed-potions, ... closing my eyes ... to no avail.

I didn't find a clue during testing.
For one side: Teleport in from the fountain then step backwards. Repeat until you get to the chest.
For the other: There is a switch by a statue upstairs. Then run downstairs.

Just done this Mission on Expert (think I deserve a pat on the back for that one!) and I got a bit stuck too in the Hall of Statues but reading what GORT said helped a lot
Ended up with one Secret in the end (I didn't know you could have them in a T1 Mission).
Overall this was a great challenge and the latter half of the FM made me think outside the box which was very enjoyable!
Thanks GORT for this FM!
