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.
