The visual concept for bike festa Südtirol, curated by Serima
Design doesn't just begin where we consciously look, but where perception triggers a feeling. The visual identity of bike festa was born from a simple question: What does cycling feel like? The answer to that question became the starting point for our design: it's that moment in the slipstream when the surroundings rush past, blur, and a sense of freedom emerges. From this, a Moving Identity was developed where movement becomes the central design element. Motion blur in images captures the view in the wind – the defining key visual of the bike festa.
Serima is presenting an installation in a container on Domplatz, which transforms the visual identity into a live experience. Do pop in!
