Droga5 NY’s first piece of work for Harley Davidson, “Breathe,” connects us to the physical, emotional, mental, even spiritual effects of riding a motorcycle.
In a world that’s increasingly isolated, disconnected and numb, riding is the kind of human experience people are craving. The adrenaline rush of a ride that stays with you for days. Being out in nature while everyone’s stuck inside. Participating in a real, live community that spans the globe. Having your hands glued to a pair of handlebars, rather than your phone. It’s healing.
In “Breathe,” directed by Jaron Albertin of SMUGGLER, a Harley Davidson rider races to outpace “the voice of technology’”that gently instructs him to stay connected to the matrix. As the rider begins to leave the connected world behind, gentle instructions give way to desperate commands, until he bursts out into a world all his own, where the constant drip-feed of updates and alerts cannot follow.
