I'm struggling to convince my partner I saw her. I was quite freaked out by the realism and assumed there would be lots of social media pics ro show but I can't find zilch. Anybody who can prove I didn't have a weird vision please help.

Can you put the wine down & try again?

This isn’t the work of wine. Crack maybe…

Are you saying you saw a real 7m tall woman, or a statue or something and it was super real?

TinFoilHatty · 13/12/2022 21:26

An image on the back of a truck was in keeping with the size of the unit, I think?

I am looking for evidence she existed. I assume a very realistic prop/statue but was ginormous.

The figure/statue/image/real giant was travelling in an open-door wagon? Strapped atop? Why would there be photos? So.many.questions.

Who is she?

I have seen a couple of giant statues of homeless people before in various locations, I assume they are all the same artist. Google says your lady was on the way to Birmingham. They are SO amazingly life like in real life.

Newusernameaug · 13/12/2022 21:32

I need to know about her too now!

was she in the back of an open truck? Must have been quite a sight!

Dartmoorcheffy · 13/12/2022 21:34

Must have been quite awesome to see it going up the road.

DialsMavis · 13/12/2022 21:34

@Spenn now I have skimmed your article I see it was this lady Alex I saw at King's cross the other day, and I saw a man in a gallery last summer.

I would say it was absolutely amazing to see yesterday on the M40. First I thought it was a giant then thought don't be ridiculous its a load looking like figure. I then went through oh it's sculpture oh it's a giant it was so realistic. Travelling Art.

I know, somebody will come on and say I read a book years ago and there's a guy in it and I can't remember anything else about it. The first guess is usually right!

BessieSurtees · 13/12/2022 22:15

I wonder if it has been moved somewhere else as the articles say it has been in Birmingham since 9th and was in Kings Cross before that? Would be great if it could be displayed in other cities too.

BessieSurtees · 13/12/2022 22:16

And yes to the randomness of mumsnet.
