RE: Art in Basel - Helvetia on the road
That sculpture is really fascinating, it fits so well to the picture of the bridge, the whole appearance gives me impression that the figure is just would like a moment for itself but I have a feeling that she is thinking of may be jumping down into water. I am just wondering was there any incidents of people jumping from that point into water?
It's a bit difficult to see on the photos, but if one would jump from where Helvetia sits one would hit the road, not the water. However, sometimes people jump from the Mittlere Brücke in the Rhine for fun. Drop height is around 10 m or so. So it's doable.
