In 1776 the Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote “The Reveries of a Solitary Walker”, a book that summarises the author’s postulations in the last years of his life. The book is divided into ten Walks (or Reveries) recounting observations, events and feelings, and is, as such, highly, biographical in nature.
My work is in conversation with Rousseau where each one represents a walk, a reverie, ranging from observing nature and its landscapes to the varied human encounters carried out in different places, countries where I’ve been residing.
In one of his walks Rousseau states: “I was deafened by the tumult of the world and bored by solitude, I was always wanting to move and never happy anywhere”.
This emphasises his feeling of unrest and highlights the spirit that most travellers have, an inexhaustible thirst for new horizons, a wanderlust. He touches upon the idea of how a person might be looking for that special place but has to keep moving in order to keep on searching within themselves.
I can draw many paradoxes from this quote with my own experiences, having lived in many countries and not found what I am looking for.
These works act as a visual bridge, bringing into light a distant past. They act as a way of remembering familiar places and a way to not forget one’s roots and personal identity.
