Harald Popp

Harald Popp was born in Illertissen in 1974. He studied photography at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences under Prof. Ute Mahler. After several years as an applied photographer, he focused on his artistic practice. He lives and works in Hamburg. In his photographs, he explores the relationship between digital images and their impact on our everyday perception of reality. His latest works increasingly deal with the possible complete replacement of photographic processes by language-based AI image generators.
His works have been shown at the Kunsthaus Hamburg, Westfälischer Kunstverein Münster, Harburger Kunstverein, KUB Arena Kunsthaus Bregenz, and Hamburger Kunstverein, among others.

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.
