how JulyaHajnoczky describes her slow and unusual way of hiking.For weeks each year,the photographer walks along footpaths in some of Canada’s most amazing wild spaces.She takes a close look at

specimen(标本)—collectiontools,sunscreen,bugrepellent.AlsoHajnoczky’s searchingrules:Pick a minimal amount of plentiful,dead,or abandoned things—never rare species or live animals—and return them when finished.The resulting photos are the small models of Canadian landscape and make up her ongoing project:At the Last Judgement We Will All Be Trees.Deeply worried about humanity’s relationship with theenvironment,Hajnoczky describes the images as“elegiac,dark,sorrowful”,as still lifes(静物)created while there’s still life.Yet they’re also fascinating.Slowdown,they seem to say.Look with amazement
