• How did ferns, rocks and 1,000 km become a film?
Dario Laganà went on a 1000 km walk in Norway, and produced the short film Like a Fern Between Rocks, documenting this solitary, nomadic experience. This work is one of the shortlisted pieces for the Marŝarto Awards 2025. Dario earlier wrote about his experience in A loud solitude, and goes deeper into his experience, below. All of my
The wind walks with you around the island
Liesje van den Berk draws not only what she sees but also what she hears or feels, drawing how the senses absorb the environment. And this is what she did for her piece Walk in Fleinvaer, documenting her experience on the island with the same name in Norway.

Embarking on a full sustainable solo circular walking tour of Norway to elevate my affinity for walking into a more consolidated artistic practice. Exposing my body to the wild, raw, unforgiven environment, the journey is a blend of performance and introspection, where slowness and solitude are the preconditions to uncover vulnerabilities, to create a deeper connection with the landscape and the weather, exploring connections between nomadism, discipline, rituality and energy
In Norway, my carbon-free journey involves camping and walking to showcase the fusion of slowness and sustainability, aligning with nature and societal deceleration. To ease the load, I’ve designed a wheeled trolley to carry equipment and goods, including a solar panel electric motor, aiding uphill travel – totaling 160W. Purifying water with filters, sourcing local food, and single-night tent setups during walks between inhabited places ensure eco-friendly practices. It’s not a battle against nature and it’s not a trip of loathing humanity.
It’s not a challenge-against. It is a path of reappropriation of one’s spiritual self, which is built with effort. Walking on foot is marking time in kilometers. it’s your personal pace, the clock of your gait, the ability to predict where one will be, based on a personal natural speed.
