ANONYMOUS TRIPS

✶

Synopsis

Confined in the darkness of our cabins, we travel the world without predefined destinations. We evolve within a rhizome made up of permanent redirects, leading us to cross so many landscapes, faces of humanity.
And all this without moving from our capsule, the center of the journey.
Like speculation that has gone mad, sometimes the machine decides the destination of the trip.
We see revolutions passing like wildfire shaping the landscape. Sometimes a single grain of sand can stem the machine, as a man alone can cause uplift.
These Means of Transport are extensions of ourselves that we worship as the cowboy worships his horse. However, are we doomed to helpless observation of external events?
Can we still stop the machines?
These means of locomotion, these extensions of ourselves must at no time slow down our wills, because we have the power to be free.
