Somerset House was built with direct access onto the Thames – the home of Admiral Nelson’s Navy Office with boats entering through the building’s great arch on the river. Artist Bill Fontana returns the river to the building with River Sounding, an immersive sound installation that creates an acoustic journey through little-known subterranean spaces of Somerset House, exploring the hidden stories and sound-worlds of the river.
