Nicoleta Moise

Nicoleta Moise (*1989), works as a visual artist, writer and researcher with different mediums combining photography, video and performance. Through the use of archive material and entangled narratives, her practice is focused on making visible less known stories, characters or events. Her latest project Memory of the World - A Very Brief Selection (2020), is a text-based research project about a personal journey around the Memory of the World Programme - a initiative launched by UNESCO in 1992 to safeguard the documentary heritage of humanity against collective amnesia, climatic conditions, or deliberate destruction. She published two artist books, I am Not Entirely Happy Unless I am Here, In My Country (2016) and Not only the seaside, but I like the mountains too! (2014), both publications focus on the female body in different socio-political contexts. In 2018, she co-founded CUTRA magazine, an intersectional feminist publication in Romania.

Nicoleta Moise was a resident at KunstVereineRuhr from July to September 2021 and at the Haus der Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets in Bochum from April to June 2023.

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
