THE BICYCLE TRIAL. A DOCUMENTARY EXPERIENCE.
THE TRIAL
THE TRIAL
We all dream about being able to leave our bicycle at the bakerys doorway like in the old times, buy some bread, and find that the bike is just there when we return. However, only a few people dare to so in Buenos Aires. Well, here it is: The Bicycle Trial, a documentary experience that dreams about a bicycle staying at the same place for hours. Or at least, enough time until the tape ends.
What is the trial aim? Perhaps it is a nostalgic manner to remember that lost calmness. We have to admit that there might be a little of voyeurism in all this. Nevertheless, this project can also help to release our paranoia by showing that you can still leave your bicycle without a padlock. Dont be long!
The Bicycle Trial is an experimental project that pursues to generate a virtual space of communication in which people all over the world are able to contribute with their own experience: uploading their own homemade videos into an internet page.
The project consists in leaving a bicycle on a street light post, tree, sidewalk, against a wall, at any corner of any city. A video-camera records and calculates the time elapsing between the moment in which a person leaves the bicycle abandoned and the moment in which another person takes that bicycle away, thus allowing us to learn how long does an abandoned bicycle last in that place. Forgery is ruled out: real videos show real robberies.
