The Walk entails a tension, indeed a paradox, between the subject and the medium. The subject is about process, physical movement, step after step further along the path, while the medium, the photograph, is an arrested moment of seeing. The artist captures the corporeal movement by seriality and repetition. Sixty-six images follow one after another, all with the same strict composition: the path, seen from the eye level of the walker, disappears into the vanishing point of the image. The images urge the viewer on to browse further, to continue moving from spread to spread, following along in the repetition and variation in the images.
