Anna Haifisch (1986 in Zwenkau) writes and draws comics, works as an illustrator for national and international media and designs print series, posters and design products. Characteristic of her work is the interplay of bold colors and fragile strokes, working with visual and narrative elements from design, comics and art history. Her books have been published in several languages and she has drawn comic series for the New York Museum of Modern Art, the French newspaper Le Monde, the US website VICE.com and Texte zur Kunst.

Xanten

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
