Fuks & Cunningham used walking as a medium to unpack the narrative and politics of the landscape. On a trip across Queensland, Australia over a period of 56 days and 7,500km, the pair crossed 663 waterways, confronted the environmental extremes (lush subtropics and the dry outback) and explored waterways by walking them.

Accustomed to a life of instantaneousness, productivity, and “getting there” (the straight line), Cunningham and Fuks made this deliberate decision to slow down, allowing their bodies—and their digital devices—to absorb the landscape and the moment–”being here”. Unhurriedly, they walked the way of the water (the meander).

Recordings of the ambient rhythms of selected creek environments are meshed with farmers in remote places recounting extremes of drought and flood—which is considered normal from the perspective of deep time—and concerns over mining, CSG fracking and the degradation of aquifers.
The artists aim to bring awareness of environmental and ideological issues concerning water linked to climate change, environmental activism and sustainability.
