BICYCLE RIDE by Albert Hofman
Film
This lm shows faces of people letting go after emotionally intense ex- periences. Upon letting go of emotional, intellectual and behavioural patterns, consciousness dilates. The subject experiences a profound sensitivity and emotionality. We aimed to capture this very precise moment, when the face revealed the release of the unconscious ten- sions produced by those patterns, yet is still marked by the form they leave, embedded in the esh.
Some of these lms show real-life moments (people coming off addictive drugs, people who have experienced a bereavement, peo- ple who have just had sex, etc), while others have been recreated for the purposes of the lm (drug consumption, sleep deprivation, go- ing through Grinberg treatments, clubbing, fasting, psychoanalysis, Osho meditations, etc) for long periods between 12 hours and two weeks.
