On the occasion of the Nuit Blanche 2026, artist Mathild Clerc-Verhoeven invests the galleries of the Sewer Museum to present Membrane Urbaine. An installation inspired by the cleaning tools used in the Parisian sewers : no external motor is used – the machines are activated by hydraulic energy and human action. It consists of several works :

• A gutter 15 meters long and suspended from the ceiling. Its attachment points can be manipulated from the ground in order to raise or lower it and move a ball that is inside. The gutter is woven from carbon fiber.
• A weaving of 3 meters x 9 meters in carbon fiber exposed under the Alma vault. The work is suspended on several ropes whose ends are connected to a wheel fixed to the wall. Visitors can handle the installation by turning the wheel.
• A wheel made of wood and carbon fiber suspended above the current.

The whole is accompanied by a soundscape made up of the voices of the sewer workers. A text by the writer Jasper Coppes proposes a narrative framework that highlights the different dimensions addressed : the lived experience of the sewer workers, feedback mechanisms, the flow of fluids and information.

On Saturday, June 6, 2026 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m.

The exhibition “Clothes of the sewer workers” is extended until the end of june 2026. After several months of opening, the Sewer Museum offers visitors an additional opportunity to discover the evolution of outfits worn by men and women in this profession over time through a selection of photographs, clothing and objects.
