In „RIKKA“ wird die einzigartige Symbiose zwischen den verschneiten Bergen und den vibrierenden Straßen von Hokkaido und Sapporo (Japan) eingefangen. Tauche ein in das Wechselspiel aus Ruhe und Dynamik, eingefangen von Athleten wie Colby Stevenson und Zoe Blewett, vor der Linse von Baptiste Sjostrom.
„In Hokkaido and Sapporo, contrast doesn’t just exist, it breathes. It collides. A snow-covered silence meets the hum of a city on the move. There are moments when the quiet of the mountains and the energy of the streets inhabit the same breath. A steaming bowl of ramen after a white-out descent. A lone train carving through frozen countryside. Neon reflected on snow. This is not just travel, t’s a rhythm. A pulse. One foot in serenity, the other in momentum. Transitory, yet deeply felt. Because sometimes, the most powerful stories live in between.“
