Visual artist Romain Tardy kneels by the river Senne in Brussels

Romain Tardy creates sensory installations that reveal invisible dimensions of our environment. In this new creation for Back on Senne, he reinterprets the underground Senne as a living, evolving ecosystem, inviting an emotional reconnection with this buried river and the hidden infrastructures of the city.

Artist Coline Cornélis records the sounds of the Senne in the Sewer Museum

For the soundscape, Romain collaborates with Brussels illustrator, composer and DJ Coline Cornélis, who crafts immersive sonic worlds using field recordings, rhythms and experimental electronics, increasingly integrating her own sound creations.
