Felix Bork

©Jan Kapitaen

Felix Bork (*1988) deals with the important things in life: cute animals, beautiful flowers, colourful stones, poop and love. So far he has published the identification books 'Oh, an animal' and 'Oh, a plant' (both awarded 'Most Beautiful German Books' by the Stiftung Buchkunst), the cookery book 'Und was isst du dann', the work book 'Frohes Schaffen' and the sewerage book 'Aus den Ärschen aus dem Sinn'. 2023 saw the publication of 'Oh, ein Stein!', which once again won an award as one of the most beautiful German books. Felix Bork does not work for Nestlé, Volkswagen, Jeff Bezos, the Bundeswehr or arseholes in general.

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.
