Hamish Fulton
Richard Long’s walks are a particularly well known example of conceptual and land art. Unlike his fellow artist and friend Fulton, Long describes his walks as the art itself whilst the photgraph is a visual representation. In this case it is necessary for the presenting of the work in a gallery. Like Fulton I see the work that is presented in the gallery as the art, and the methods to get their the development. At the time of making video recordings it almost seemed as though this in itself could be art, but then I was struck by the common problem of it not ever capturing the experience quite as it is felt.
