Bikepacking Colors: Episode 10 (Video)

Antoine Bussier, the French photographer and filmmaker, has released the tenth installment of his "Bikepacking Colors" series. This latest six-minute video, uniquely shot entirely in black and white, deviates from the usual format by focusing on Bussier’s relationship with his partner as they bikepack across Corsica. The episode marks a significant shift in perspective for the popular series, turning the lens inward on the creator's personal journey.

This milestone episode arrives as bikepacking continues its ascent in popularity, moving beyond niche adventure into a more mainstream cycling pursuit. Bussier's "Bikepacking Colors" has long been a touchstone for the genre, known for its vibrant cinematography and exploration of diverse landscapes. By choosing monochrome and a more intimate narrative, Bussier challenges the conventional, often aspirational, visual language of adventure media, perhaps reflecting a maturing of the form itself.

A black and white "Colors" episode. One might suggest it’s a bold artistic statement, or perhaps just a filmmaker running out of literal colors to capture. Either way, it certainly makes one look.
