'Another Place'

This spectacular art installation by Antony Gormley consists of 100 life-size figures made of cast iron spread out on Crosby Beach, on the Liverpool shore. Weighing an impressive 650 kilograms each, the figures of ‘Another Place’ are exact replicas of the artist's own body, standing firmly on the sandy beach. Positioned to face the sea, they gaze out towards the horizon with a sense of silent anticipation. They have been temporarily exhibited in different places in Europe before permanently landing in this gorgeous sight.
