..."another place"
... a magnificent installation/multiple sculpture by Anthony Gormley (he who did "Angel of the North") is open to all on the beach at Crosby near Liverpool. The installation consists of 100 life-size, standing casts, in iron, of Anthony Gormley's body set out on a rough grid along 2 miles of the beach.
The installation is moving and very human.
Watching from the path above the beach you can see people cluster around the figures - small groups with one strangely still member. The groups spread out across the vastness of the beach, against a background of the sea, the Wirral and the mountains of North Wales, near & distant wind turbines, and the coastguard's spaceship.
