Another Place (Crosby Beach)
Another Place
Antony Gormley's 100 cast-iron figures are spread across 3 kilometers of beach, all facing the sea and gradually disappearing with the tide.
“Another Place” is an installation by British sculptor Antony Gormley. One hundred cast-iron figures, each cast from his own body, are spread across about 3 kilometers of Crosby Beach and extend about 1 kilometer out into the sea. All of them face the water. As the tide rises, they gradually sink beneath the waves, and when it ebbs, their barnacle-covered bodies reappear. The scene is most atmospheric at sunset. Entry is free. Take the Merseyrail train from Liverpool Central Station to Blundellsands & Crosby or Waterloo Station, about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the tides, and do not walk too far, as you could become trapped by soft mud or the incoming tide.
