Figures in a landscape

Poignant loneliness of the life-size figure on the sand..

Antony Gormley is famous for his " Angel of the North" a huge sculpture that stands on a hill in North East England. I did not know he had worked in Australia .
I have found the story if it is of interest :
" In 2002, Antony Gormley approached the residents of Menzies and asked if he could scan them digitally, completely naked. Fifty-one of them agreed, and Gormley set about transforming them. First he squeezed them by two-thirds in width, then he cast them into moulds, and out popped 51 eerie extraterrestrial figures that are now scattered across the flat, white expanse of the nearby barren salt lake, Lake Ballard. 'I wanted to try to find the human equivalent for this geological place,' says Gormley. 'I think human memory is part of place, and place is a dimension of human memory.'

A sight that must linger in the memory :-)
