The Bicyclist Who Fell into a Time Cone
2023
Synopsis
New Delhi, 1980. A bicyclist embarks on a circular and repetitive journey. On their expedition, they hover between past and present, as found archival footage and digitally or hand-drawn figures and topologies take over the screen.
Editorial
Taking a parallax view on late 20th-century history, this short whirs with sci-fi theories of modernity. Maximizing the multimedia potential of the digital screen, Raqs Media Collective layer animated, illustrated, and pixellated images to make a time-traveling video worthy of Chris Marker.
