Project.

Contour Slovenia is a project of implementing and documenting a unique sport challenge: cycling the Slovenian border - making a literal contour of the border’s remarkable shape with the wheels of a bicycle.

It’s an extensive project, ranging from first preparations, execution of the challenge, and capturing the entire process on digital film.

Concept.

Slovenia has become a superpower in world cycling. This is proven by athletes such as Primož Roglič, Tadej Pogačar, Matej Mohorič and of course all the others who have become heroes of the Slovenian nation in recent years.

Slovenians are known for identifying with successful athletes. The roads are full of cyclists, both old and young which is why we decide to draw the real route of our country.

With a bicycle.

Film.

The film shows how the photographer decides to realize his cycling feat and what challenges he faces during the performance. The main goal was to cycle the distance of the Slovenian border in a few days along the route, which he planned himself and which is actually as close as possible to the state border. In such multi-day physical efforts, it is especially important how the actor prepares physically and mentally and how he harmonizes such a project with everyday life, family and work.

Challenge.

Multi-day cycling requires a lot of adjustment and patience, as the cyclist encounters various unpredictable situations and weather phenomena along the way. All this and more was chased by the film crew, whose goal was to capture all the moments of this challenge on the movie screen.
