Fulton--born in London in 1946--initially studied sculpture, but in 1969 he turned to an artistic activity based on walking. Since then he has continued to occupy this utterly unique position within the field of contempor... more »ary art, marking himself as a visionary and a true original. Fulton's work consists in walking across various landscapes, and The Waling Artist documents various ''walking pieces'' of his from over the years, from the early 1970s until the present day. Included are walks through terrain like hills, mountains, and forests, in area as diverse as southern England, Peru, Bolivia, northern California, central Australia, Nepal, Japan, Baffin Island in Arctic Canada, and France.« less
