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”.

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.
