The Walk

——————————

In the beginning of time, when thought created the world, arose stories without words formed from feelings, like lines from the past to now.

They created a planet out of the immense solar-system with the use of 7 directions: north, south, east, west, above, beneath, and within: a place where intuition and spirituality are the liberating forces

———————————

I registered a walk by taking photographs every seventh step. It is not only a literal walk. i follow a route through my head and my heart, in colours like those used by man 32000 years ago to represent theur surroundings. Arranging these pictures one after the other vreates as it were a film of stills with moments-in-between. These empty moments represent the lost memories and the invisible time.

It is a walk that I keep making and which connects me with the walk from the beginning of time.

——————————-

The step as measure of living, looking, experiencing. The cadence that sounds through the brain and creates a freeing movement that opens the door to the unnameable, a place where time is not present, and only the being of completeness exists.
