Minh Đức Phạm

Minh Đức Phạm is an artist and performer. He studied exhibition design at the HfG Karlsruhe and performance studies and design theory at the UdK Berlin. In his artistic practice, he moves between the visual and performing arts. He thematises questions of identity and negotiates these at the intersections of gender, race and class.

He has also been involved in various theatre and performance productions, including Die Große Klassenrevue at HAU1, Home Away From Home at the Cloud Gate Theatre in Taipei and Semiotiken der Drecksarbeit (Semiotics of Dirty Work) at Mousonturm Frankfurt. Pham has received grants from the Baden-Württemberg Art Foundation, the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe, and the Fonds Darstellende Künste, among others.

Hamminkeln

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.

Hamminkeln by Erdem Teper

so müssen wohl die bäume über die menschen denken, 
der mensch ist ewig damit beschäftigt 
versteht, dass alles und jeder irgendwo
eins ist 
versteht, dass alles –  liebt und lacht und lebt in frieden existiert; stoa
versteht, dass es ist – ebenbild 
wenn mensch findet sich selbst 
vor uralten baumrinden 
ein wesen schaut das andere an, 
am ende haben beide einander
und somit sich selbst erkannt 
beide aus gerüst, beide aus haut 
nur dass der baum im wald sich zutraut
zurecht, dass er den menschen überlebt; 
während die zeit bereits 
das leichentuch des menschen webt 
und der baum schaut den menschen an, 
beide aus haut, rinde und knochen 
nur hat der neue mensch 
seine beziehung zur natur unterbrochen
