I walk. Each footstep creates my path. Before I start walking, I use a topographic map and my imagination to read the landscape. I first envisage the walk, then I go. Reaching a peak, descending into a valley,touching a point on the map. I walk along apredefined course. I follow asound or instinctively arrive at an unknown point. When walking I create. Straight lines. Geometric shapes. I follow the lines of a ridge.The shores of a lake. The territory I pass through inspires me. I walk along the backbone of the mountain, over the jutting rocks, I’m fascinated by the contour lines and the curves which illustrate the map and I like to shadow imaginary lines along the ground.
Walking is everything and all is resolved in walking. I document my activity. Each project has a date, the geographical coordinates of the areas I pass through, the hours and minutes taken.This is one of the series of works focused on the pattern generated by natural elements such as stones and trunks on the white snow.
