A WANDERER’S DAYDREAMING

Inner impressions collected by an imaginary wanderer along his route

For they who apprehend it at eye level, the land is made of actual shapes and concrete landmarks. It is not, as for the cartographer, a set of abstract signs on a map: a smoothed reality. For the wanderer, the territory is a landscape. Its spatiality spreads horizontally and its paths, to be known, need to be physically experimented.

This series of drawings reflects mental images, daydream episodes or reminiscences as one could experience while walking freely through the land. These drawings reveal the inner impressions collected by an imaginary wanderer along his route as if during his immersion, he had reciprocally been marked by the surrounding environment.
