Insolite dans cette immensité désertique ...

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 :-)

Thank you for doing the research...I knew some of the tale but not all. I would like to have gone closer for a better look, but there had been a little rain, and by the time I was close enough to take this, I was about 10 cm taller on an increasingly growing "sole" of slippery, yet incredibly dense red mud. It was very hazardous.....
They looked haunted and spectral in that remote landscape...:-)

insolite mais beaucoup de charme...

Merci à toi, Simone
