Contortionist Motorbike Photoshoots

Trina Merry's Human Motorcycle Project is Unbelievable

— October 17, 2012 — Autos
The Human Motorcycle Project is an art ensemble by Trina Merry for the International Motorcycle Shows that will be touring in the United States. The airbrushed photos display a chic windblown female rider positioned on a high-powered motorbike. The only difference with these two-wheeler gas vehicles is that they are made out of people.

Every part of the motorcycles are formed by people in colored body paint that are molded into the shape of bike parts. Their hands are used as handle bars, their arms become the wheels and their bodies are stacked to form the outline of the vehicle. By having the bikes made out of people, Merry's Human Motorcycle project creates a deeper artistic connection with the audience. She expertly styles her models with the vibrant colors of racing couture bikes to bring to life the blazing machines.
Trend Themes
1. Human Art - Incorporating humans as the medium for art may inspire disruptive innovations in measurement and application methods, and introduce new approaches to artistic expression.
2. Body Manipulation - The use of body paint and manipulation to create illusions can transform not only art but also potentially impact makeup and fashion industries.
3. Unconventional Design - Designers can gain inspiration from Trina Merry's unconventional motorcycle design and explore hybrids between human structures and products, which may contribute to sustainability and environmental improvements.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Entertainment - The incorporation of human art may provide a more immersive and engaging way to showcase art, which has the potential to attract a niche target market and diversify art and entertainment experiences.
2. Automotive - Reimagining what a motorcycle can be made of and designed like can spark new ideas for the automotive industry, from creating more environmentally sustainable materials to developing innovative design concepts.
3. Fashion - The creative use of body paint and human structures can challenge traditional methods of makeup and introduce new ways to apply products, which can potentially influence and inspire fashion trends and product development.
