The ruїns collective was founded by Oleg Isakov, Elias Parvulesco and Teta Tsybulnyk in 2017 in Kyiv and is a film and art union. Between 2019 and 2021, Teta Tsybulnyk and Elias Parvulesco mainly collaborated under this title. The collective aims at reflecting on the world’s complexities from human and non-human perspectives, examining how landscapes shape identities. Their work has been shown in numerous film festivals including FIDMarseille, the Glasgow Short Film Festival or the Docudays in Ukraine. Furthermore, the ruїns collective presented their projects in art exhibitions at MAXXI National Museum in Rome, Royal Art & History Museum in Brussels or at the Art Centre Silkeborg Bad in Denmark.

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.
