Video installation about a special motorcycle and its owner.
Triple screen video presentation
16 min., with english subtitles

The bike, a red Indian Chief from 1947, was imported by the Scot Jim Lambert and officially declared to be a work of art by the authorities. The story, in which we hear about the restoration of the bike and the rituals that are part of having, and actually driving such a classical motorbike, is taking place on three large screens. The Indian and its owner are making a trip to Hoorn on the occasion of the opening.
