Come and meet Claude Marthaler, this passionate cyclonaut and writer, back on campus on June 5th.
As part of Bike to work, the passionate cyclonaut and Swiss writer Claude Marthaler honours us with his presence on Tuesday June 5th at 6pm in CM1106 to talk to us about cycling, his travels and show Bike for bread, a documentary about Cairo's bread delivery people, which he co-directed with Raphaël Jochaud (trailer here). An aperitif will follow the conference.
Since 1978, he has visited nearly a hundred countries during his several bike trips. And when he is not around the world, he gives lectures and writes articles for the newspaper La Liberté, the weekly Écho Magazine, Cycle!magazine and PRO VELO info. He is the author of 9 books, two digital slide shows and co-director of the documentary Bike for bread (2003, 26'). Two television documentaries were devoted to him: "La fin du voyage" (52', 2003) and Claude Marthaler, embrasser la terre (70', 2015). His passion as a child, which has also become his livelihood, merges today, like the two wheels on his bicycle. Also he will sign all of his books during this evening not to be missed!
Last year, Claude Marthaler came to talk to us, among other things, about his 7-year world tour. In addition, his photo exhibition "Zen or the art of pedaling" was exhibited under the BM's arcades.
