British sculptor Antony Gormley has installed 100 cast iron figures along a stretch of the Merseyside coast, not far from Liverpool. Depending on the tide, weather and time of the day, the figures will be more or less visible. At high water some will be up to their necks in water.
The pieces were made from body casts of the sculptor in 1997 and first installed in Cuxhaven, Germany over a 3 km stretch of beach.
Gormley says: "In placing art at the sea's edge I am asking about our relationship with nature, or our nature in nature, and the seaside is a good place to do this. Here time is tested by tide, architecture by the elements, and the prevalence of sky seems to question the earth's substance".
