Description of work

A three minute Super 8 film that follows the bike route from Crab Park (on the Downtown Eastside) to Kitsilano Beach Park (West side).

Artist statement

Nielsen was inspired by William Harbeck's 1907 film that records the streetcar view in downtown Vancouver. Like Harbeck, she is interested in documenting an unremarkable activity that represents the city at this time. Her film combines two of the things that define Vancouver, the seawall and the focus on cycling. The time-lapse super 8 film documents the urban coastline from Crab Park on the city's Downtown Eastside to Kits Beach. Using a bicycle specially adapted to hold a vintage super 8 camera, she makes her way along the seawall and then edits the film segments into a high speed tour of the perimeter of the city.
