A book published in spring 2020 by Peter Foolen Editions, documenting 27 years of walks made by herman de vries in the Steigerwald, Eschenau, Northern Bavaria. The walks which were done almost daily, were drawn by herman de vries on 27 sets of 2 survey maps which were pinned every year since 1993 on his kitchen wall.

The original 27 sets of these survey maps with the drawings are reproduced in this book in actual size, the spreads of these maps on two pages have a size of 49,5 x 99 cm.

40 years ago herman de vries visited the greek island of gavdos, south of crete. at the time, the island had no regular boat service and was scarcely visited. the inhabitants - 80 then - still used donkeys for transportation.
herman always had wanted to return to this paradise to him and finally he did in 2016. the result of this visit is a beautiful body of work, shown for the first time and consisting of a 73 part ‘journal’, stone works, as well as a series of 15 earth rubbings a.o.
also his son vince de vries shot a poetic documentary on the occasion.
