Another Place, by Antony Gormley, consists of 100 life-size figures spread out along three kilometres of Crosby beach, stretching almost one kilometre out to sea. Secured on 3-metre-high foundation piles, the sculptures are solid cast iron, made from moulds of the artist's own body and, in particularly high tides, they all become completely submerged.

Another Place harnesses the ebb and flow of the tide to explore man's relationship with nature. Antony Gromley says: "The seaside is a good place to do this. Here time is tested by tide, architecture by elements and the prevalence of sky seems to question the earth's substance. In this work human life is tested against planetary time. This sculpture exposes to light and time the nakedness of a particular and peculiar body, no hero, no ideal, just the industrially reproduced body of a middle-aged man trying to remain standing and trying to breathe, facing a horizon busy with ships moving material and manufactured things around a planet".
