What would an alien look like if he landed on Earth and decided that his first priority was a bracing stroll on the beach? That probably wasn't the question sculptor Antony Gormley was asking as he placed dozens of these figures - made in his own image - on the beach at Crosby, near Liverpool. Each figure is weathered differently by the sea, wind and weather and consequently they all seem to have adopted slightly differing personalities. The statues stare out to sea in silent contemplation, encouraging mere humans to do likewise. And just to bring the whole thing back down to Earth, this chap's 'spaceship' is the roof of the local leisure centre.
