Hamish Fulton (born 1946 in London) began his career at the end of the 1960s, defining himself as a "
walking artist" in order to distinguish his work from the practices of
Land Art which it had initially been likened to. His is an experiential art, one which feeds off the places visited on foot in natural settings (especially those of the mountainside) from Europe to South America, and from Tibet to Japan. Starting from the 1990s, a part of his work shifted towards a participatory dimension, finalised towards the sharing of the walking experience, and which has since also been applied and developed in urban contexts.
