Legendary street and fashion photographer of The New York Times, Bill Cunningham, roams the streets of Manhattan on his bicycle, capturing the city’s spirit and style. But for him, fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a cultural narrative, the purest form of individual expression. 

Cunningham doesn’t chase fame or fortune; instead, he devotes his life entirely to his work. Living in a tiny apartment surrounded by old newspaper clippings and negatives, this humble soul demonstrates the enduring nature of his passion against the fleeting world of fashion. The documentary offers an intimate look into Cunningham’s private life and career, exploring a world that stretches from fashion icons to everyday New Yorkers.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
