Julius von Bismarck

©Daniel Sadrowski

Julius von Bismarck (*1983 in Breisach am Rhein, Germany) studied visual communication at the Berlin University of Arts, participated in the MFA Programme at Hunter College New York, as well as studying at Ólafur Elíasson’s Institute for Spatial Experiments. Among the awards he has received are the IBB Photography Award (Berlin), the Golden Nica des Prix Ars Electronica (Linz), the Prix Ars Electronica Collide@CERN (Linz) and the “Junge Stadt sieht junge Kunst” (A young city sees young art) award (Wolfsburg). Julius von Bismarck works on the boundaries between art, science and technology. He investigates the perception, manipulation and documentation of natural phenomena, but also issues of urban space.

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.
