Your flowing city

"Your Flowing City" is a performance walk in Brussels personifying the underground Senne river as it traces the hidden overground path of the river through the city. The project explores the historical and contemporary significance of the river, addressing themes of urban invisibility, public space, and the act of walking as a form of resistance within the motorized cityscape.

Anne Versailles

Anne Versailles, lives and works in Brussels. Biologist and walker artist, geopoet and sound designer, she works mainly with fieldrecording. Her work explores displacement, crossing and slowness. As a sound artist, she collects sounds while crossing territories and composes acousmatic works born from the energy of the crossed landscape that she then diffuses in the form of in situ sound installations. Her work questions the infra and the infinitesimal, what cannot be seen, the details, the roughnesses as well as the small joys, scratching the surface, awakening the non-visible, the inaudible. She composes also for radio creation, theater or sound walks. She also writes and publishs poetry and her literary work is not different from her sound work, the two are often mixed. She has shown her work at international institutions, among others, Radia.fm, Ars Electonica Linz, FRAC Grand Large Dunkerque.

Wandering, getting side tracked, following the breeze, stalking a butterfly, wondering a lot, being completely in the transient moment.
