Camilo Pachón is a multidisciplinary artist and curator working between Colombia and Germany. He deals with collective processes and the mask as an ancient technology: tools that dissolve the self, change their contexts and allow us to imagine new worlds and create new connections with people and ecosystems. With his project proposal The Ancient Masked Temple, the artist aims to create a collective space in the Healing Complex with a programme of workshops, readings, performances and the traditions of carnival.

Camilo Pachón (*Bogotá) lives and works in Colombia and Schöppingen/Münster. His works have recently been shown in solo and group exhibitions at the Temporary Gallery, Cologne (2023) and LIA FARO, Bogotá (2023).

Dorsten

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. Chroncler in Dorsten is Anna Haifisch.

„Vorbei am Baumarkt und dem geschlossenen Wettbüro, nach zwei schaurigen Eisenbahnbrücken, stand da plötzlich dieser kleine Kohlenwagen mit dem Namen des Angelsportvereins als liebevolle Erinnerung an alte Zeiten. Statt Erz und Kohle lugten ein paar erfrorene Blümchen hervor. Mit dem kleinen Wägelchen wäre ich gern durch Dorsten gerollt, musste aber leider meine kalten Füße benutzen.“ - Anna Haifisch
