One and Other

"One and Other" is the title of a an art project by Antony Gormley . You can see it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_%26_Other

I know titles like this are abstract and may have no direct meaning but I want to know when you read this title, it sounds to you like "one another" or "one and the others"?

Hi I'd say it sounds like the first of those. 'One and Other' sounds like 'one another' I guess the idea is to contrast, on the one hand, each person standing alone on the plinth but, on the other hand, being part of a collective work. So they each appear as a single individual but there is also a sense in which they are with one another Dave
