Idea
For this specific action, we have chosen the tallest Belgrade bridge, that has become the symbol of suicide in Serbia, since it was named after a famous poet Branko Copic who took his own life by jumping from it.
Our idea: projection of a message “YOU ARE NOT ALONE” with phone number of the Suicide Prevention Office onto the water surface that can be seen when looking down from the bridge only.
