Another Place

"Another Place" is a modern sculpture by British artist Antony Gormley, located at Crosby Beach in Merseyside, England. It consists of 100 cast-iron figures. Each weighs 650 kg, is life-size, stretches 3 km of coastline, and faces the sea. The sculptures are simulated from the artist's own body. According to Antony Gormley, "Another Place" is special because of its design and exploits the ebb and flow of the tides to explore man's relationship with nature. All these statues line the beach, some are buried at different heights. Modern art installations are very attractive, and they will look impressive at sunset.

Each statue looks out over the sea as if lost in its own thoughts, perhaps influenced by forces beyond its control. In the evenings, the statues represent otherworldly stillness and silence - even sadness - somehow resonating with the inner world of human experience, and loneliness. Crosby Beach, where these statues are located, is not open for swimming and has a constantly changing tide. Please observe safety and protection regulations when visiting.
