Another Place, Installation artwork at Crosby Beach, England

The installation consists of 100 cast iron figures spread across two miles of beach, each standing 189 centimeters tall and weighing 650 kilograms.

The sculptures were initially displayed at locations in Germany, Norway, and Belgium before finding their permanent home at Crosby Beach in 2005.

The figures, cast from Antony Gormley's body, present different perspectives as tides change, encouraging reflection on human interaction with natural environments.

The installation remains accessible throughout the year, with optimal viewing times during low tide when visitors can walk among the figures on the beach.

Marine organisms have colonized the iron surfaces of the statues, creating natural patterns that transform the appearance of each figure over time.
