EXPO bicycle city from martin de thurah on Vimeo.
when i visited the Shanghai World Expo this july one of the pavilions i most enjoyed was the danish one.. the best thing about the expo is that it aims to educate and increase understanding about the unique culture that each country possesses.. each pavilion packs in what they feel best represents them under one roof, either socially, artistically, historically, or technologically... the danish pavilion was great because it encapsulated the everyday-ness of the danish way of life.
part of the pavilion included a video wall that showed short films shot by danish director Martin de Thurrah, representing parts of danish life that were very prevalent and probably understated in everyday life, like water, and in this video, bicycles. really filmic and softly spoken but seems to tell so much about how important bikes are to danish culture.
