The exhibition proposes a sensitive approach around the notion of landscape and the representation of reality. Straddling art and science, the two artists, Thomas Daveluy and Guillaume Lepoix, build a set of three works; digital technology serves them as a means of reproducing the landscape, while questioning our way of perceiving the tangible. Designed for the central passage of the Museum of Fine Arts, the installation is immersive and contextual: this place so particular and rich in history questions the way to represent the world through epochs. The two artists dig into the image to extract its constituent material (textures, pixels, colors, etc.) and deliver it in raw form, like relics of a world hidden within digital images.

In the fifteenth century, the upper room, where the courts of justice of the duke are held, is built perpendicularly to the three naves of the ground floor. It retains its two large gable walls with their bays and stone benches in the embrasure. Transformed in the seventeenth century, this space of beautiful proportions houses the parliament of Brittany exiled in Vannes between 1975 and 1690\. This work requires strengthening the building on the ground floor with massive and vaulted pillars. It was around this time that the entire building had roofs. Under the Revolution, the upper hall served as a
