Abstract: Projective duality identifies the moduli spaces $mathbf{B}_n$ and $mathbfX(3,n)$ parametrizing linearly general configurations of $n$ points in $mathbb{P}^2$ and $n$ lines in the dual $mathbb{P}^2$, respectively. The space $mathbfX(3,n)$ admits Kapranov's Chow quotient compactification $overlinemathbfX(3,n)$, studied also by Lafforgue, Hacking, Keel, Tevelev, and Alexeev, which gives an example of a KSBA moduli space of stable surfaces: it carries a family of certain reducible degenerations of $mathbb{P}^2$ with $n$ "broken lines". Gerritzen and Piwek proposed a dual perspective, a compact moduli space parametrizing certain reducible degenerations of $mathbb{P}^2$ with $n$ smooth points. We investigate the relation between these approaches, answering a question of Kapranov from 2003.
