Mirja Busch

Mirja Busch is an interdisciplinary artist from Berlin. She studied fine arts at the Braunschweig University of Art and at the Universidad de Chile in Chile. The examination of (urban) landscape as a social and artistic construct plays a central role in her work.

For over ten years, Mirja has been exploring the ontology of puddles and experimenting with various forms of archiving them - whether as a photographic collection, in liquid form, through ethnographic observations, walks or language - bringing this often overlooked phenomenon into focus in order to open up new, non-human perspectives on the city and the subject of water.

Her work has been funded by the Stiftung Kunstfonds (2023, 2022, 2020, 2015), the Berlin Senate (2016), Hans and Charlotte Krull Stiftung (2014), Goldrausch Programm Berlin (2011) and DAAD (2008), among others.

Unna

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Zeichnung, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
