'Another Place': Liverpool visit

Another Place: 1997
Crosby beach is home to Antony Gormley's 'Another Place'. Another Place consists of one hundred cast iron life size figures. These figures stretch out along 2.5 kilometers of the foreshore, the area between the high and the low whatever mark, and stretch almost one kilometer out to sea. The is  an average of 500 meters between each of the stood figures. Each of the 650 kilos 'Another Place' figures have been made from one of 17 cast of Gormley's body. All of the figures are facing out to sea, looking towards the horizon. Depending on the state of the tide, the weather conditions and the time of the day the work will be more and less visible, all the figures are on the same level meaning that those closest to the shore can be buried up to as far as their knees.
