In Corps Echos, we encounter women’s voices: those of the sewage worker’s partners. These women, interviewed by the artists during their residency at the Brussels Sewer Museum (2021), guide us through a masculine universe, an underground world where no woman ever descends.
“No. It’s not for me. I don’t like that, crawling things. No, I couldn’t have been a sewer woman, no. No, no, I couldn’t do that job. It wouldn’t even occur to me to go down there. I don’t think a woman has ever gone down a sewer.”
Are there any ‘sewer women’? Is there a woman who, like men, knows the world hidden beneath our feet?
