In the middle of Duisburg's Inner Harbour, artist Stella Flatten's project Die Halde/ The Dump invites people aged 3 and over to take part in a collaborative process of digging in an excavation site created for the exhibition Between Invention and Capture. The physical activity of digging – as an act of participation and a tool for reflection – puts us in touch with ourselves, our history, memory and immediate surroundings. In the workshops with the artist, we embark on a joint search for buried meanings and enter into a dialogue about how the hidden can be made visible. Objects will also be collected during the exhibition and buried together in a time capsule at the end of the project.

    Between Creating and Collecting

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
