20 Years of Another Place

Nicknamed ‘The Iron Men’ by locals, Antony Gormley’s spectacular Another Place installation on Crosby Beach celebrates its 20^th Anniversary. The 100 cast-iron figures staring out to sea replicate Gormley’s own body, and harnesses the ebb and flow of the tide to explore man’s relationship with nature.

In this exhibition, local photographer Ron Davies shares his ‘Men for all Seasons’ series, taken over two decades along the foreshore. The photographs capture the spirit of the sculptures, using the figures as foreground objects against the dramatic weather conditions and skies.

“It is the motion of sand sea and sky, with the Iron Men fixed in their ceaseless stare out to sea, that makes each visit unique” – Ron Davies
