LEER
LEER is part II of our triptych 'Crying in your Helmet', everything from our post-process TRIP [part I], MOTORS [part III] and everything else we stand for comes together in this. LEER is the middle part of 'Crying in your Helmet'.
We made a Motor-dance film together with DOX. LEER is the first part of our triptych 'Crying in your helmet'.
In the dance film LEER we follow Hank. Hank has problems. Hank doesn’t belong. Riding his motorcycle allows him to think clearly. Above 130, everything becomes black and white. During his nightly rides he becomes so deeply entwined in his own thoughts that it is not always clear whether what he sees and hears is real. One thing Hank knows for sure: if you accelerate hard enough, no one will hear you crying into your helmet.
