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.
