Biofonia

In my Q-02 residency (Brussels, 2025), I explored the foundational aspect of the river Senne in Brussels. Under the concrete and above the surface, I followed the covering and the diverting of this flow that now appears and disappears between the streets of the city. Working from its maps, I moved from a macro vision of Brussels on the Senne to a progressive zoom and back again. Along the way, my own stature underwent a change of scale, a kind of miniaturisation.

Where the Senne flowed invisibly and seemingly silently, I traced a vestige transduced through concrete. This raised questions about the premises of a past that persists—in its ideas and concepts—even beyond its borders and particular circumstances. The river’s condition aligned with a concept of development projected onto every corner of the planet, through different strategies and models, proposed as the only way to progress.

By listening to the Senne, sometimes underground in the Sewer Museum and sometimes on the surface in the streets of the city, I sought to connect the river with the forms of the city; between the two, I sensed a flow of feedback. Both sound signals reached a point of proximity where they became more than indicators of progress; they emerged as signs carrying fundamental expressive elements that might help us understand the development model at play not only in Brussels, but also in other regions of the planet. I explored this Senne/Brussels feedback using zoom-in and zoom-out technologies such as microphones, maps as hand lenses. By experimenting with imperceptible sounds, changes of scale, different surfaces, distances, and proximities, I reflected on this concept of development as well as the underdevelopment that arises from it. Meanwhile, I questioned the possibility of conceptualising models that differ from the human scale, its logics, and its paradigms.
