Anne Arndt

Portrait of artist Anne Arndt, whose work explores media and architectural spaces.

© Anne Arndt

In her cross-media works, Anne Arndt critically and humorously scrutinises our public living space as a mirror of social cultures of power and remembrance. She understands walking as both a research method and a practice and engages with the history of the city and the people on site as architectural witnesses. For the residency at the Healing Complex, the artist is developing a site-specific participatory methodology that utilises walking, storytelling, listening, being together, talking, questioning, observing and perceiving. This approach aims to connect with local and diverse knowledge that enables a pluralistic, relational perspective. In the form of shared walks, the artist aims to stimulate the imagination and participate in the creation of new stories, adding new layers to them.

Anne Arndt studied Media Arts in Cologne and Artistic Research in The Hague and most recently showed her work in solo exhibitions at Glaskasten Marl (2022) and Museum Morsbroich, Leverkusen (2022). Anne Arndt (*Schwerin) lives and works in Cologne.

Hamminkeln

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.

Hamminkeln by Erdem Teper

so müssen wohl die bäume über die menschen denken, 
der mensch ist ewig damit beschäftigt 
versteht, dass alles und jeder irgendwo
eins ist 
versteht, dass alles –  liebt und lacht und lebt in frieden existiert; stoa
versteht, dass es ist – ebenbild 
wenn mensch findet sich selbst 
vor uralten baumrinden 
ein wesen schaut das andere an, 
am ende haben beide einander
und somit sich selbst erkannt 
beide aus gerüst, beide aus haut 
nur dass der baum im wald sich zutraut
zurecht, dass er den menschen überlebt; 
während die zeit bereits 
das leichentuch des menschen webt 
und der baum schaut den menschen an, 
beide aus haut, rinde und knochen 
nur hat der neue mensch 
seine beziehung zur natur unterbrochen
