Iden Sungyoung Kim

Iden Sungyoung Kim is an artistic researcher who observes, investigates, documents and reconstructs the political ironies of deeply entrenched, invisible regimes. Particularly interested in the political narratives of micro-histories hidden within macro-histories, she has explored socio-political debates on disability, migration, and the practice of care. Her work has been shown in Berlin, London, Seoul, Venice, Stockholm, Beijing, Paris and Kyoto, among others. She has received numerous prizes, scholarships and grants, including from the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts Baden-Württemberg, the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, the Marta Hoepffner Prize and the Arts Council Korea. Following her residency at the Cité internationale des arts, she is currently taking part in the Helsinki International Artist Programme and will soon be at Künstlerhaus Bethanien.

Schermbeck

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.
