unification through travelling
The different elements of a mosaic are here "unified" through the movement of the vehicle that moves between them. One of the main possible works for explaining Simmel's text "philosophy of the landscape" and creating different landscape options would be to undertake different understandings of the notion "unification".

the patrons show a type of layering that view the unifying rationale towards a cloth. the idea of layers is always linked to this unifying rationale that for one moment grasps the multitude as one sole sequence. In this scene the unifying concept would be identified to the cloth "itself". The drawings on this very thin paper are reproduced in transparent paper and the shapes cut to a multitude of clothe pieces. But all this multitude is only honoring the one clothe that is going to be produced out of it.

peripatetic
AN ARTWORK CANNOT RE-PRESENT THE EXPERIENCE OF A WALK
THE TEXTS ARE FACTS FOR THE WALKER AND FICTION FOR EVERYONE ELSE
THE FLOW OF TIME AND THE RHYTHMS OF A WALK
AN OBJECT CANNOT COMPETE WITH AN EXPERIENCE
WALKS ARE LIKE CLOUDS THEY COME AND GO
MY ART AKNOWLEDGES THE ELEMENT OF TIME, THE TIME OF MY LIFE-IN RELATION TO THE SYN MOON AND STARS
EACH WALK MARKS THE FLOW OF TIME BETWEEN BIRTH AND DEATH
ABSENT-I DO NOT BRING 'THE LANDSCAPE' INTO THE GALLERY AND THE WALK ITSELF IS A PAST EVENT
INDOORS AND OUTDOORS-A NOTEBOOK IS MY STUDIO
THERE ARE NO WORDS IN NATURE
quotes by Hamish Fulton
'The picture made during a walk is a single slice selected and isolated from a larger whole. In this way the photograph functions as a metonym for the walk, just as the walk functions as a metonym for a wider, more encompassing view of life lived as the walk is made.'Andrew Wilson on Humish Fulton

crop a landscape
the crop command.
how you perceive the edge and the cut for a picture. what does the frame means in relation to what is thematic? how we understand the idea of a conceptual center of the photograph? how this center shifts according to the way one uses the crop command?
The idea of nature is linked to the ideal of a non cropped picture.
