A site visit and a photo exhibition
Eleven photographers from Atelier Obscura were exceptionally granted permission by the STIB-MIVB to take photos behind the scenes of the Brussels metro. At the construction site of metro line 3, they had the unique opportunity to show what goes on underground. The result of this exploration can be seen in this temporary photo exhibition, which offers a never-before-seen glimpse into the heavy work happening below ground.
