Don't be alarmed if you're walking in Midtown and see a figure staring down at you from a rooftop.

It's part of an outdoor exhibit by British artist Antony Gormley.

The installation features 31 life-sized statues of the artist's body cast on rooftops, pathways, and sidewalks around Madison Square Park.

Gormley, who first created the exhibit for a 2007 show in London, says his intention is to play with people's perceptions.

The entire exhibit will be on display starting next week.
