Sometimes a sight can move you. On occasion I have been instilled with a feeling of real and genuine privilege at having viewed or witnessed something. Once when I saw a family of elephants at a watering hole in Namibia, and again last weekend, at Crosby beach.
Gormley's Another Place consists of 100 cast iron nude figures - life size replicas of himself - spread over a two mile stretch of sand in Crosby, just north of Liverpool. The figures are placed apart, some further into the sea than others. As the tide ebbs so the figures are seen either totally or partially submerged. They all face out to sea.
It is wistful and desolate, hopeful and forward thinking. The scale of it coupled with the natural beauty of the coastline is quite staggering. See it if you can.
these are fantastic photos of what appears to be a remarkable installation.
