Das muss man doch sehen

Im Mai 2006 begegneten sich Timm Kölln und Olaf Unverzart zum ersten Mal während des berühmten Radrennens „Giro d’Italia“. Beide schätzten schon vorher die Arbeiten des jeweils anderen und so entwickelte sich schnell eine Freundschaft, geprägt vom künstlerischen Austausch.

Was Kölln und Unverzart verbindet, ist die Leidenschaft für den Radsport mit dessen jährlich aufs Neue durch Land und Landschaft ziehenden Profizirkus. So widmet sich ihre gemeinsame Ausstellung „Das muss man doch sehen“ auch eben diesem Thema. Aufnahmen aus dem Renngeschehen stehen dabei gleichberechtigt neben beiläufigen Beobachtungen abseits der Strecke und Einblicken in die private Welt der Sportler.

Beide Fotografen arbeiten überwiegend in konzeptionellen Bildstrecken, die in dieser Ausstellung mit einer Durchmischung aufgehoben werden. Die für pavlov’s dog gestaltete Rauminstallation vermittelt dem Betrachter auf diese Weise ein Bild vom Facettenreichtum dieses heterogenen Sports, fern von Siegerlisten oder der andauernden Mystifizierung der Tour de France.

„Das muss man doch sehen“ ist ein Satz, den sowohl Radfahrer als auch Fans ausrufen, wenn ein Fahrer eben genau etwas übersieht: eine Attacke oder ein Hindernis auf der Strecke, das zu einem Sturz führt. Metaphorisch gewendet ist das die exakte Jobbeschreibung für einen Reportagefotografen: Dinge zu sehen, über die andere hinwegblicken. Und genau das gelingt Kölln und Unverzart in ihrer Arbeit. Muss man gesehen haben!

Pavlov’s dog – Raum für Fotografie: Bergstrasse 19, 10115 Berlin
15. November – 14. Dezember 2013 (Donnerstag-Samstag, 16-19)

Cycling World Championships 2013 in Florence

Rain, rain, rain, more rain, so much rain it went pitch black! What a finish, at the 1000m mark Rui Costa was a dot in the distance, but he was coming on strong… The rest is history!

CMWC 2013 Sprint World Champion

Congratulations to André Schönhofer from Mainz. He’s the new courier sprint world champion. Best of all: he raced on a Cicli Berlinetta Pista frame, that he won at the ECMC 2010 in Budapest. And he’s still riding it very happily.

Was the legendary Fausto Coppi really faster than all his rivals because he rode Cicli Berlinetta racing bikes? Probably not, but this old photo from an Italian sports newspaper was just begging for a couple of captions, and the awful truth is that we couldn’t come up with anything funnier. We’ll stick to building beautiful bikes instead…

Supersonico Custom Frameset

Before this very-special-order frameset is packed up and posted all the way to sunny California to it’s expectant owner, we found the time to snap these photos. You’re looking at a unique piece, a filet-brazed track frame which comes supplied with two pairs of forks! One takes a full size front wheel, the second accomodates a smaller pursuit-size front wheel. Both forks continue the dark orange, black and white striped paintscheme which slopes forwards, accentuating the rider’s crouch. Our framebuilder paid special attention to the geometry of this frameset, to ensure that it ‘works’ with either of the forks installed. In addition to a full complement of Cicli Berlinetta Crown motifs, the owner’s initials can be seen on the underside of the downtube just above the bottom bracket shell. There’s no doubt about it, this is one hot piece of triple-butted Niobium Columbus steel!

The Life of Cycle –
Urban Cyclists in Berlin

Beyond the messenger and fixed-gear scenes, contemporary bicycle culture is more fashionable, diverse, and alive than ever before. According to Dustin Nordhus of Berlin’s Cicli Berlinetta, “people who live in a big city are becoming aware that it’s nicer to have a beautiful bicycle than a car.” Gestalten.tv talks to Dustin as well as other bike enthusiasts.
