Taking stock of his wandering life in Latin America, Europe, America and North Africa, the Scottish travel writer, politician and adventurer Cunninghame Graham (1852 – 1936) noted: He “ writes… about things that a traveler, the journey is over, the best of all travel let them feel it again – their melancholy.” In the age of new media, clip aesthetics, speed and talk culture, melancholy, wanderlust, reflection, stillness and slowness appear as a way of accessing the world from a bygone era. My work provides an activating reference to the suppressed and lost awareness of the diversity of our living environment.
