About
The weight of the human situation is intended to be evoked by this rhinoceros sculpture that is suspended above a city square.
A rhinoceros is suspended in the Quadriportico della Vittoria, a stone’s throw from the square of the same name. It was placed in the final part of a redevelopment project by Brescia’s government. The project started with the renovation of the former Chamber of Commerce building, then continued with the restoration of the small square in front of it. The final piece of the project was this massive bronze rhinoceros by Stefano Bombardieri, a conceptual artist known for his statues of wild animals and mythological figures. Officially titled The Weight of Suspended Time, the sculpture is also known simply as Rhinoceros. It was created in 1988 and is located in Brescia, Italy.
