Fragments of bicycles originally from Eibar, heirs of an arms legacy, find a new life in this project. The metal, which had previously been complicit in violence, is now part of the pace of human peddling. The transformation not only affects the object, but also the worker: making bicycle instead of bullets implies a change of pace, of meaning and of relationship with the world. This shift – from the bullet to movement, from the trigger to the journey – is a sculptural act: a metamorphosis of material, thought and identity. The pieces that emerge from this process are the reuse of material in a third watershed direction. The use of minimum variations and repetitions makes these pieces are somewhat similar to the frames of a movie, where each one keeps its uniqueness, but is part of a transformation sequence.
