Michael Höpfner

 
Michael Höpfner (born 1972 in Krems, Austria) ) is an itinerant photographer and a significant member of the "walking artists" movement. His work revolves around the journey on foot, through deserted or barely inhabited areas from Ukraine to China, and from Kirghizstan to South Korea. His is a path that began as a physical and mental exploration of geographical spaces and which then continued as a reflection on the very concepts of reality and place.

The exhibition Canto di strada placed Fulton's & Höpfner's work side by side identifying a common ground for comparison in a 14-day walking journey through the Supramonte and Gennargentu mountains in Sardinia. The artists undertook separate journeys, experiencing a total immersion in the harsh environment without even meeting each other. Their respective approaches have been documented in two separate booklets.
