The idea that one photograph can document the duration of a walk is clearly ridiculous:
an object cannot compete with an experience. Hamish Fulton
The Walking Project explores the possibility of communicating in the form of an artwork a subjective experience of the world understood in spatiotemporal terms and in relation to the body as the necessary subject of perception. The technical experiments with cameras and photographic materials involved in the work test the limitations of the medium in recording a walk in its continuity. Through long-exposure photographs, films, heart-rate records, sound records, maps, etc., the artist attempts the impossible: materialization of a walk in an object indexical to the distance and duration of the experience.
