ANDREW TAN, ZOOM CYCLING (ART 2025)

“Zoom Cycling” transforms the traditional view of cyclists through intentional camera movement, elevating the visual experience into an expressive interpretation of motion. By deliberately blurring images during exposure, this series captures the essence of movement rather than static moments. ​ The human form, once defined, dissolves into dynamic streaks of light and colour. Bodies become fluid abstractions, their contours bleeding into the surrounding space. Light takes on a quality that bends and stretches with the cyclists’ movements, painting light trails across each frame. This abstraction serves as a metaphor for the nature of human powered vehicles. As cyclists push their limits, they seem to shed physical constraints, becoming pure energy in motion. The resulting images hover between representation and abstraction, revealing the hidden poetry in the confluence of body, bicycle, and light. ​ “Zoom Cycling” challenges our perception, inviting viewers to experience the fluid dance of form and motion.
