Following on from this, Argentinian artist Lisandro Rodriguez invites you on a special tour through the Chemical Park: Motorcyclists from Bitterfeld-Wolfen will take festival visitors on their bikes. The excursion becomes a shared experience. A pact of trust is forged between riders and those in danger who are meeting for the first time: carrying, holding on, keeping their balance, accompanying. For a short time, a special connection is created between stability and movement: the weight of two bodies in balance and in motion through space. At the same time, the movements of the vehicles are recorded electronically: The track of the joint ride forms a line of mobility and transformation drawn in the landscape. According to cultural scientist John Berger, riding a motorcycle is like drawing. A drawing in space is created from the recorded movement of the joint motorcycle ride.
