The name of this art photograph is: 'Bicycle Rider'
This photograph makes me think of several things. The first one that comes to mind is Little Prince flying high in the sky. The old pilot scarf, the wings and heaps of books somehow lead in that direction. I believe it might be the main inspiration for the author who installed it. The wall full of books creates the background texture and makes this image stand out. If not there, it would be a high key composition with a completely different meaning.
The old black and white Italian film "The Bicycle Thieves" by Vittorio De Sica also comes to mind, and in the end, it's the New Wave films from the sixties. The long lyrical sequences of bike riding through the streets, full of "love is in the air" vibe and accompanied by feely music, mostly shot in full sun shining through the leaves. Have you ever watched these?
The stylization probably evokes all those memories. The magic of black and white photography is unavoidable. The whites are strong and make the rider stand out from the darker background. The giant wall of books against the bike, not so much in the form as in tonality, help bring the rider and the bike forward. Do you see the wing making the difference when rider's head actually becomes the background? The greys are visible, versatile and very needed, while the blacks are deep and predominantly only in the bottom.
Did you notice the white trail after the white scarf of memories? It's my humble contribution. :)
Enjoy! :)
