Guidebook for an Armchair Pilgrimage Phil Smith & Tony Whitehead (text) ~ John Schott (photography)

What if you literally take a procedure of travelling without moving from a sedentary position? The truths you find yourself and ever-changing surroundings, are they yours or just the nominal paper roll where your name is just assigned?
Phil Smith with Tony Whitehead wrote and John Schott photographed an insightful guide to the pilgrimage you are invited to. The pilgrimage of the sacred but in what way? A religion of attentive travelling down the tunnel of your imagination where all the emotions are revoked and invoked as if...as if you felt the places in the tiniest of details yet you are still stationary, sedentary.
The Terra Nullis of the Unconscious Limbo is replaced by awareness of space and time offered in trade of your time and some guidelines to contemplation.
How the world contemplates us as opposed to us experiencing it?
Do we really need to add "meaning" and "intensity" to the "bare" experience we have?
What happens when we let go of the crutches of memory, associations, desire and wild fancy?
Does one item has to remind us of the next one in line?
Generalising and specifications for classifications - they are probably deterring us from the evident?

"Returning is never going back to the same place" - ponder on it if you will for just a couple of breaths
