This is a four part split screen video projection originally recorded in Super 8. A diffusely painted neutral canvas takes up the entire space on the monitor screen and zooms out with increasing velocity. The viewer watches a cyclist who rides his bike on a country road towards the horizon. He falls down and then continues cycling. This is where the film ends and begins anew. Each screen shows the scene slightly time-delayed in a loop, alluding to (off) frame, circulation and its insertion in landscape.
