post Walking as Artistic Practice 1 Oct, 2023

Julie Poitras Santos, flight Paths (2018)

Walking as Artistic Practice

The webpage "Walking as Art and Cultural Practice" by Ellen Mueller explores the interdisciplinary study of walking from artistic, cultural, and geographic perspectives. It presents walking not just as a mode of locomotion but as a creative and performative act that intersects with spatiality, identity, and environment. The site compiles scholarly resources, theoretical frameworks, and case studies that link walking to concepts such as psychogeography, map-making, and embodied experience, highlighting its role in both contemporary art practices and historical cultural rituals. Additionally, the page situates walking within broader discussions about place-making, social interaction, and urban exploration, addressing how walking can serve as a method for engaging critically with social and spatial structures. The content includes examples of artists and practitioners who use walking as a medium, emphasizing its capacity to challenge conventional boundaries of artistic production and spatial awareness. This resource is designed to support research and teaching by providing curated references and conceptual tools related to walking as an artistic and cultural phenomenon.

Anastasia-Zoi Souliotou

The website titled "anastasiazoisouliotou.wordpress.com" serves as a digital portfolio and professional archive for Anastasia Zoisouliotou, an artist and researcher whose work intersects walking practices, art, and cultural geography. The site contains detailed descriptions of her projects, which often explore themes such as spatial experience, landscape interpretation, and embodied movement through urban and natural environments. It includes photographic documentation, maps, and text-based reflections that provide insight into her methodology and conceptual approach. Additionally, the site hosts academic presentations, publications, and information on her involvement in collaborative research and exhibitions, revealing a multidisciplinary engagement with the cultural dimensions of walking as an art form. The content on the website highlights several site-specific walking investigations, demonstrating how the artist uses routes and trails as tools for critical observation and narrative construction. The projects frequently emphasize the relationship between place, identity, and memory, drawing on both personal and collective histories embedded in geographic locations. The research extends to performance components and participatory events, showing how walking can be both an artistic practice and a mode of geographic inquiry. Throughout, the site thoughtfully situates the artist’s work within broader discourses on psychogeography, landscape studies, and environmental humanities.
