'Another Place' consists of life-like cast iron sculptures spread across Crosby Beach in the North-West of England. They are made using casts of the artist's own body (Antony Gormley) and there are 100 in total. Each one weighs 650 kilos and they are all pointing out to sea. When the tide comes in they are submerged, and they have unfortunately raised alarm occasionally as people think they are real people drowning - oops!
