RIDERS NOT HEROES: ANATOMY OF A DELIVERY
A short video documentary by 2050+ & -orama
A simple tap on a phone conceals a chain of sequenced operations, procedures, and invisible frictions.
This short film dissects the multiple realities that collide throughout the duration of a food delivery: a complex system where bodily, chemical, and synthetic regimes are entangled in a short time frame, collapsing the acts of ordering and delivering. Two apparently frictionless gestures mark the extremes of a hidden anatomy, mirrored in the social separation and yet shared condition between customers and riders. Both are precarious, exhausted bodies. Both are cogs in the greater delivery industry.
