Céline Berger

©Roland Baege

Often involving external participants, managers, coaches, employees, Céline Berger creates objects, videos and installations exploring our professional lives. Her focus lies on day to day routines, small gestures or behavior patterns, in all their mundane aspects. Short narratives as texts, written and spoken words are in the center of her works. She says her work is 'a search for new ways to question our professional working lives, beyond simplifications, irony, moralizing undertone or fatalism.'

Céline Berger (*1973) lives and works in Cologne, Germany and Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Trained in physics and material sciences, she worked for various international microelectronic companies as a production and project engineer from 1997 to 2008. She graduated from the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne in 2012 and has been a resident at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, in 2012-13. She received the Nam June Paik Newcomer Award in 2012.

Wesel

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.
