A Pristine Landscape sanctified by snowfall Benjamin Long describes this blank map in Backtracking (2004). It depicts a landscape purified by an unexpected blanket of snowfall. All existing trails are erased. Natural and artificial contours of the area are smoothed. The famil•iar is transformed into the unknown. Each footstep marks a new discovery. Any landscape may be overlayed with this map and seen as if for the first time. 7
