alas the heart is not a plant - insights on the true nature of bxl

Gosie Vervloessem presents "alas the heart is not a plant – insights on the true nature of bxl" at nadine, Brussels. The exhibition features a temporary performative space where language and image are intertwined, with language becoming visible and tangible. Plants are central to Vervloessem's research, acting as active co-language makers with agency in meaning-making and communication.

This shared agency extends to the audience, who are invited to participate in interaction and co-creation. The exhibition fosters a fluid field of constant interaction between humans, plants, language, and images, creating an open space for new forms of communication and togetherness. A performative exchange at the exhibition's end transforms the space into an open setting for audience participation, emphasizing listening, shifting agency, and shared presence.
