Camilo Pachón

Portrait of artist Camilo Pachón, whose art oscillates between photography, installation, and social spaces, in a black-and-white image wearing a cap.

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).

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
