Walks

Thomas Flechtner, inspired by many days of walking with his feet on skins, has been working during three years on his ‹Walks› compositions. Surfaces covered by virgin snow and free of treads make us think of photographic plates. Here we do have not any silver salt, what we have is snowflakes reacting to the passage of the artist, alone, with his feet on skis. He is light. He is the agent that will reveal a shape. After having placed his camara within a distance from the space he wants to cover and having decided on a particular frame, Thomas Flechtner chooses the time of exposure that corresponds effectively to the time the marking will take.
