A Bicycle Trip

2008 • 4 min • Italy
It's the story of a double trip. A physical journey, the one in which the chemist Albert Hoffman really took his bicycle to go back home in the 1943's spring under the effects of an unknown substance he was testing (lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as Lsd). But it's also the symbolical journey, inside the scientist's mind, representing the feelings he may have felt. Our bet is to narrate this event researching new images, creating our own version of a '40s styled psychedelia.
