Antony Gormley: Inside Australia showcases this Turner Prize-winning artist’s stunning 51-statue installation on Lake Ballard, a 10-square-kilometre dry salt lake in a remote region of Western Australia.

A lake near Menzies -- approximately 130 km north of Kalgoorlie, a remote mining town 800 km northeast of the Western Australian capital of Perth -- recently enjoyed unusual attention from the international art scene when British sculptor Antony Gormley realized an ambitious public art project there.
Lake Ballard, a white and very shallow salt lake, a million years old, laden with history and myth, a site of ultimate silence, peacefulness and sublime beauty, became the stage for Gormley's installation of 51 "Insider"' sculptures in a work entitled "Inside Australia."
