Bicycle: A Tale about a Crazy Old Biker

I need to explain, first of all, that I have no real explanation why I like this so much.  I just do. Perhaps I see a little of myself in this crazy old biker on his penny-farthing, suddenly shrunk to a tiny size and propelled forward to our own technology littered century. Perhaps because it’s a great, almost mesmerizing, way of spending a minute or two. Or perhaps it is because it is just a little crazy, like its protagonist.

Who can say. Yet I suspect you might enjoy this by Pask D'Amico, aka Klesha, who describes himself as an Italian cosmopolitan audiovisual artist and a multidimensional traveler.  A perfect fit for Kuriositas, in other words!

This short animation represents a very personal project for its creator, Freek van Haagen, dealing with a subject matter that has been part of his life for a long time.  It represents an abstract dream – or perhaps memory – of a boy and his mother.

I think that perhaps of the multitude of expensive (and often tiresomely repetitive) road safety films that we see, a major channel should take this animation and show it at prime time.

I am almost certain it would have a huge impact.
