Siren calls... still, I feel the same." was awarded with the supporting prize of the internationally acclaimed Karl-Sczuka-Prize (2024).

Düsseldorf-based artist Lilli Lake develops her projects in dialogue with concepts of sonic feminist materialism. Her multimedia practice are composed performatively through sound, space, and sculpture. With a site and context-specific approach, she explores thresholds between visible and invisible materials.

Antonia Beeskow and Lilli Lake share an interest in sound as a speculative and subversive material. Their recent collaboration included exhibits at the Kunstverein Nürnberg (2024) and with the Inter Media Art Institute (IMAI) at the Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf (2024).

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
