Between Speed and Revolution: A Woman's Journey
In 1975, a young woman rides a Moto Valera motorcycle across the Nevada desert, her gas tank adorned with a taped map marking her path. She's an artist from Reno-nicknamed "Reno" for her hometown-creating art through velocity, "drawing in time" as she once did while ski racing as a child. Her destination: the Bonneville Salt Flats, where she'll attempt a land speed record not for glory but as an artistic statement. This motorcycle journey becomes a metaphor for her larger navigation through the male-dominated worlds of art, wealth, and political revolution in 1970s America and Italy. Her story unfolds against backdrops of stunning contrasts-the stark American desert and the chaotic streets of Rome, the exclusive New York art scene and the gritty factories of industrial Italy-revealing how speed, art, and revolution intersect in unexpected ways.
