© Camilo Pachón

Franziska Klose (* 1977) is an artist and photographer. She has been working on post-industrial landscapes and contemporary nature since 2010. She creates photographic series, artist books, field recordings and audio walks. Her works explore landscapes as sedimented time and as an imprint of the industrial era. She is currently working on urban flora and the city as a cross-species habitat. The artist's book COHABITAT Stadt (publish&print Verlag Dresden) was published in 2025. The books Bitterfeld (Edition Michael Barthel) and Detroit: Field Notes From A Wild City (Spector Books) were produced as part of the long-term project The New Wild. Klose studied visual communication, fine art and photography in Weimar, Geneva and Leipzig. She lives in Leipzig.

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
