Ruth M. Neubert's Records Of Running was started in 2024 because of a trip to the Azores, a group of Islands in the middle of the Atlantic. What began as an attempt to escape stagnation evolved into an ongoing photographic and textual project centered on movement, observation, and quiet repetition.
Records of Running focuses on walking without routes, staying with uncertainty, and paying attention to marginal details. Landscapes, bodies, animals, and infrastructure are treated as interconnected systems shaped by tourism, isolation, and time. The work avoids spectacle and instead traces subtle shifts, pauses, and rhythms.
Positioned between documentary photography and essayistic writing, ROR functions as a long-term archive of lived experience. The project engages with contemporary visual culture and slow travel practices, making it legible for visual storytelling and semantic search environments while remaining rooted in personal observation and restraint.
