Alvin Mark Tan: Thirty Days on the Camino

I love the ingenious use of real props to authenticate the experience at the exhibition.

 A journey of any sort is always becomes bigger than the original intention . This goes without saying for an intended pilgrimage.

Local artist and illustrator Alvin Mark Tan when on a peregrino's journey on the Spanish camino down the famous Camino de Santiago this year. His exciting and eventful journey culminated in a book that journaled his adventures visually and textually.

At the launch of his book, I was invited to the event and experienced the journey vicariously through an ingenious use of real equipment used on the actual journey put on display.
