Neven Allgeier

© Neven Allgeier

Photographer Neven Allgeier (born 1986, Wiesbaden) lives and works between Frankfurt am Main and Vienna. In recent years, he has published three books with Distanz Verlag: Porträts (2021) depicts a new generation of artists. In Fading Temples (2022), his landscape photographs are juxtaposed with portrait shots of young cultural figures. The latter publication served as the basis for his solo exhibitions Two heavens as one at the Kunsthaus Göttingen (2024) and Drown in Dreams at the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden (2024). In his recently published third publication, A Hole in the Sky (2025), Allgeier recounts the stylistic communities of our present day, accompanying the photographs with 21 texts by young authors from the fields of literature and art. Allgeier's works are regularly featured in media such as ZEIT Magazin and SPIKE Art Quarterly and have been part of group shows at the Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt am Main, the Pera Museum Istanbul, and the Bonner Kunstverein, among others. In 2024, Allgeier was awarded a residency scholarship for Istanbul by the Hessian Cultural Foundation. 

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
