In conversation with residents and passers-by, he discovers what often remains invisible: walking lines that tell us something about the experience of the shared space. During EUROPALIA TRAINS & TRACKS, De Vrieze examines Desire Lines that depart from Terminus Ronse. Railway line 86, which once connected De Pinte and Basècles, now has its terminus there. Although the steel rails have disappeared, there are people who make the abandoned railway bed their own. Some paths originated from a search for an alternative way in daily life, others are part of a larger network of hiking routes or fulfill various functions. Railway line 86 has been interrupted for a long time, as a result of which these alternative paths have been cut off from each other over time by impenetrable brambles. Yet each path has a common past that runs like a line through the landscape. Desire Lines / Terminus Ronse culminates in a number of walking performances on the interrupted railway line 86. An exhibition can be seen in the former ticket offices of the station where De Vrieze shares both his process in Ronse and previous experiences with Desire lines with the public.
