The paper deals with the construction of the concept of nomadicity, not in terms of “forms of life” such as migration, unsettledness, mobility, but in regard to world-view metaphorics represented by ideas such as the way and the journey. The author’s theses constitute an attempt to present these metaphorics as artistically embodied. The paper also maintains that a model form of such an embodiment is found in photography, understood in its cultural quality as a “nomadic” art.
