Ausgangsmaterial ist ein besonders kurzweiliges Format aus dem Alltag: die Tageszeitung. Lütfiye Güzel, Poetin aus Duisburg und Vertreterin eines konsequent selbstverlegten, körpernahen Schreibens, lässt sich für die Grand Snail Tour von Projektpartner*innen und Passant*innen Lokalzeitungen und -beilagen aus den zu bereisenden Städten zusenden. Aus diesen Dokumenten erzeugt Güzel durch gezieltes Ausstreichen und Schwärzen von Textpassagen insgesamt 53 Gedichte — Local Blackouts —, die auf Aufstellern an jeder Station veröffentlicht werden.

Die Methode der Blackout Poetry ist eine Form der Found Poetry und wird bei Güzel zum politischen Akt. Das Schwärzen zitiert die Logik der Zensur, kehrt sie aber um, denn das unkenntlich Machen hat nicht Unterdrückung, sondern Verdichtung zum Ziel: Was bleibt, wenn der redaktionelle Lärm verschwindet? Lyrische Miniaturen, die in ihrer Knappheit dem Haiku ähnlich ist. Güzels Entscheidung, diese Textarbeiten im öffentlichen Raum zu zeigen, stellt zudem implizit die Frage: Für wen werden solche Texte geschrieben, und wer kommt darin vor?

Lokalzeitungen sind ein ambivalentes Medium. Sie fördern und informieren Nachbarschaften jenseits von Social Media — doch die Sprache und Nachrichtenauswahl ist häufig hetzerisch und vereinfachend. Tatsache ist, dass Lokalzeitungen an Bedeutung und finanzielle Unterstützung verlieren. Güzels Aneignung bewahrt und befragt dieses Erbe zugleich. Präsentiert auf herkömmlichen Presseaufstellern verleiht ihre Arbeit der Grand Snail Tour ein vertrautes Erscheinungsbild von regionaler Kultur und überführt diese gleichzeitig in die poetische Abstraktion.
