About
Walking with Writers,
Can we once again give the landscape and trees a voice in the chorus of living beings, as progenitors and protagonists of life on earth? The tree and by extension the landscape has been an aesthetic and metaphysical inspiration for man since the beginning of time. Virginia Woolf, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Rimbaud, Wittgenstein, Goethe ... thinkers and poets who were inspired by nature during their walks. The artist sought them out, and in Walking with Writers gives voice to the longing for a loving relationship with the tree, the landscape, the earth and nature.
