Peter Van Hecke
Drawing the Line (Connecting the Dots - part III)
10.01 – 10.02.27
As part of Connecting the Dots, KIOSK presents Drawing the Line, an installation by Peter Van Hecke in the kiosk in Citadelpark.
On 24 October 2026, a sunflower seed was planted in a climate chamber at Viaverda. Since then, a carefully balanced lighting and temperature programme has been guiding the sunflower towards a winter bloom. This winter, it will open in the kiosk. In a custom-built greenhouse, it will wear a harness for a month, allowing it to trace its own growth on a dust-covered pane of glass.
Drawing the Line explores the boundary between care and control: between letting something grow and determining how it grows. The work invites us to observe, to question and to draw the line ourselves.
Special thanks to Liesbet Blindemans of Viaverda for her expert support.
Drawing the Line is the third chapter of Connecting the Dots, a four-part project by Peter Van Hecke for KIOSK in Citadelpark.
