Hamish Fulton : keep moving

"Keep Moving" is an artist's book by Hamish Fulton, the British "walking artist." At the core of Fulton's practice are the experiences he accumulates during his perambulations, which he records in photographs, pictograms and texts. The exploration of self and the encounter with nature become one and the same. "Keep Moving" resulted from a period of time the artist spent in the Corvara region of the Dolomites in the summer of 2004, during which he went on eight day-long walks and a guided climb, using a small mountain hut as his base. Contributing an essay here is legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner, with whom Fulton hiked the imagined trail followed by Otzi the Iceman, whose 5,000-year-old skeleton was recently discovered in the South Tyrol.
