Riding on a BMW motorcycle, Gonzalo Lebrija undertook a journey along the Baja Peninsula in California. The BMW model in the series is the R75/5. The two chrome plates on the sides of its gas tank have given the vehicle the nickname of toaster. Lebrija uses these chrome plates as a mirror reflecting the landscapes that he re-treats with a camera along his journey. The result is a collection of 66 photographs that translate, as a chronicle of travel.
