A silent artistic experience between image, voice, and social space
With Flower in Eckardtsheim, an exhibition space opens in the Eckardts Church for art that looks closely: Photographs and video works by Kyungwon Shin outline a long-term observation of proximity, dignity, and lived reality. The presentation showcases works from 2009 to 2026 and leads the audience to a place where art does not create distance but relationship. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/2001782))
Photography as a social trace
At the center is the Treffpunkt Tüte at Bielefeld central station, a social place for people from the drug and homeless scene. Kyungwon Shin encounters people, situations, and life stories there with photographic accuracy and great sensitivity. From these encounters arise images, video works, interviews, and audio recordings that give space to individual voices and charge the exhibition atmosphere with quiet intensity.

FLOWER: Art as a shared process
Since 2024, work in the art project FLOWER has been continued. In the art hour in the Green Cube at Kesselbrink, people meet on Mondays to paint and work artistically; photographs and video works resulting from this are also part of the exhibition. Thus, the exhibition becomes not only a presentation of finished works but also a trace of an open, participatory process of cultural education.

Place with its own resonance
The exhibition takes place in the Eckardts Church in Bielefeld-Eckardtsheim. The sacred space gives the works a special calmness and makes the encounter with the images an aesthetic experience that connects concentration and empathy. The opening on September 6, 2026, includes the service Simply Celebrate Together; the preview begins already on September 5, 2026, in the evening. The church is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and by appointment. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/2001782))
Conclusion
Flower in Eckardtsheim promises an impressive exhibition between photography, video, and social observation. Those who engage with an exhibition that does not illustrate humanity but makes it tangible should not miss this date. The visit is worthwhile for everyone who wishes to experience art as encounter, reflection, and silent intensity. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/2001782))
