The nymph of the Senne is back: after the impossible quest to return home for World Water Day 2021 in “Your flowing city”, come and discover the Zenne route in the city centre in the company of this ephemeral character, who will guide you through five small rituals along the way, to reflect, learn, and remember the water that flows under our feet.

“If a drop of water falls…” is an urban procession: a guided, silent walk with invitations to participate, following the Senne in the centre of Brussels. Together we will walk in the direction of the flow, remembering the past, observing the present, and imagining the future.

Intro in FR/NL/EN.
Participation limited to 10 people per group – please reserve via the form

Sound walk

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.

Faceless Stranger

Photographs like this one teach me to embrace the uncertainty while reminding me it can be a good thing sometimes. I hope you pick that up too.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
