Walking as art practice

Abstract

Walking as practice is related historically to the lineage designed by Lory Waxman, which implies Surrealism, Situationism and Fluxus [note 1]. The issue is to build a practice around "an ordinary activity of our everyday life in the city (...) so natural and almost instinctively performed activity in urban environment, that it becomes unnoticed" [note 2].
