In 2006 I walked the Henro 88 temples buddhist pilgrimage walk in the Island of Shikoku, Japan.
On the side of the route, I left 88 small installations as “visual prayers”. I wore around my neck an explanation, written in Japanese, of how I was living this pilgrimage and the nature of my “prayers”. Before accepting hospitality food or a shower from the people and monks along the road, I would ask them to read that explanation. It was well understood that making an act of art was equivalent to pray, which is my conception of art as a sacred endeavour.

The attached photos show some of the installations I made.
