Hello Blake, 

There’s Sara Zaltash and her Ah-Be (in the direction of a rose) – Blue (dar maseereh yek goleh roz): a 573-day walking journey starting from the source of the River Thames along the waterways of Europe and the Caucasus to Tehran, planning to arrive to her destination on 15th October 2018. See Alessandra Ciannetti’s interview: https://performingborders.live/2016/09/14/sara-zaltash-september-2016/  

Singaporean artist Amanda Heng's Let's Walk (since 1999), in which she and members of the public hold high-heeled shoes in their mouths and walk backward using handheld mirrors to guide themselves. The work was partly a response to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. http://artasiapacific.com/Magazine/70/AmandaHeng 

(If extended to running there’s myself, and there’s Australian artist Tristan Meecham's fabulous Fun Run http://allthequeensmen.net/projects/fun-run-past/)  


Best wishes,
Kai
