La moto de Molezún. Registro fotográfico de la Lambretta C125 durante el viaje europeo de un pensionado en Roma

Abstract

If there is something that characterizes the work of Ramón Vázquez Molezún it is creativity, risk, emotion. This work, vital and optimistic, was innovative and absolutely personal, and the origin of all this should be sought in something as prosaic as a motorbike. As a pensioner in Rome in the early 1950s, Molezún acquired a Lambretta C125 which he transformed and adapted completely until appropriated it and turned it into a real house on his back and a perfect companion on his journey through Europe. A vehicle that allowed him mobility and independence that reflected his restless vitalist and artistic character in formation, becoming an indispensable object, full of meaning, that Molezún photographed insistently alongside the beautiful landscapes and buildings that he visited during the more than 100.00 km he travelled on his great journey. The motorbike is revealed in Molezún as much more than a fast and cheap means of transport; it is discovered as the driving range and transformations of the future architect. Mind and hands united in work; symbiosis of architect and craftsman. A journey of life that begins on land on a motorbike in Rome and ends on a boat, his dorn, in the Bueu Sea.
