For almost four decades, Hamish Fulton has covered
50-80 kilometers per day on foot in complete solitude
with the goal of uniting walking and art. Fulton takes
nothing back with him more than the occasional souve-
nir photograph, a testament to one small moment of his
extensive journey. Sometimes these photographs con-
tain words; sometimes Fulton’s work consists of words
without photographs. All of it, however, stimulates the
brain and highlights outright the mysteries of nature.
