On this account, it's the country with the largest amount of protected area per capita. In these unequal environments, the Mongolian people have developed the same lifestyle for centuries: nomadism. The motivation that guides our journey is to describe this existential option and reveal its underlying foundations. Being a nomad means much more than a frequent change of location. Nomadism is an uncomfortable rarity in European societies, structured within a sedentary framework and intensive urban development. The nomadic is a lifestyle without borders, but in no way is it a journey to nowhere, it is rather a road outlined in the collective memory of the communities. The rule "do not tolerate the dispensable" applies to everything, from political organization to art. Our journey starts in Beijing (北京) aboard the Trans-Mongolian, a branch line of the Trans-Siberian, and reaches its highlight in the immense and spectacular Gobi Desert. | |
