Untitled. 21 Day Walk 1987 1989

Curator: Hamish Fulton’s "Untitled. 21 Day Walk 1987," presents us with a conceptual exploration of walking as art. Editor: The sparseness is striking, isn't it? The near-monochrome palette and the regimented text create a mood of meditative austerity. Curator: Indeed, Fulton's walks are documented through text and photography, challenging our understanding of landscape and experience. His walks become interventions. Editor: I see a structural grid almost, the arrangement of the words like musical notation, each mark indicating a step, a pause. The materiality of language takes center stage. Curator: Walking, for Fulton, is a political act, rejecting consumerism and embracing a slower, more contemplative way of life, deeply connected to nature. Editor: Yes, and the repetitive, almost meditative quality of the text mirrors the act of walking itself, reducing experience to its barest, most essential components. Curator: It invites a dialogue about the relationship between land art and social consciousness, I think. Editor: For me, it is the rhythm and structure of the text that captivates.
