IT / La Terra gira, Nu®ant segue a ruota. Tra i denti un mozzo, come una sigaretta di metallo filettato. La mandibola è una forcella, il collo un manubrio, e sotto il tronco del telaio, all’altezza della vita, i cuscinetti, sfere magiche del movimento centrale. Per attivare il soffio vitale un solo modo: stabilire il contatto, dal puntapiede alle pedivelle. Da lì in poi si è una cosa sola. Anzi no, perché un ciclista non è una cosa, e soprattutto non è solo. Nel suo sfrecciare tra le auto e i pensieri, sempre pronto alla sterzata che non t’aspetti, l’uomo-bici-Nu®ant vede la Terra e le sue leggi come una grande bicicletta. E se fossero i ciclisti a farla ruotare con il loro impulso motorio? Cosa succederebbe se non pedalasse più nessuno? Addio albe, tramonti, candidi inverni e canicole estive. Roba da montare in sella e non pensarci più.

EN / The earth turns and Nu®ant is hot on its heels. A hub between its teeth, like a threaded metal cigarette. Its jaw is a fork, its neck a handlebars, and under  the frame – close to its waist – there are the bearings, magic spheres that allow a central movement. There is only one way to get the breath of life: creating a contact, from the toe clips to the cranks. From that moment onwards the cyclist and his bike become one stand-alone thing. Or maybe not, since a cyclist is not a thing and above all he is never alone. While the Nu®ant Bikeman  is  darting between cars and thoughts, always ready for the unexpected turn,  he sees  the earth and its rules like a big bicycle. And what if it was up to the cyclists and their push on pedals to make it turn? What if nobody pedaled anymore? We would say goodbye to dawns, sunsets, white winters and hot summers. Scary enough to jump on our seats without a second thought.14_nurantissue1
