For a few minutes, within the courtyard of the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany, the buildings of the Grand Logis and the Grand Government become the supports of a monumental mapping, work of the French Yann Nguema. The latter is inspired by the artistic heritage and Indian culture featured in Reflections of Sacred Worlds, an exhibition scheduled at the Castle. Confronting real architectural uchronies where space time is reinvented, the digital artist delivers a poetic performance in resonance with this historic place and takes the freedom to summon aesthetics sometimes distant from several centuries or from several civilizations.

Flanked by stocky and oversized towers, covered in terrace and equipped with low machicolations, the enclosure is characteristic of the transformations imposed on traditional medieval architecture by the use of heavy artillery. In the courtyard, the Grand Logis and the Tower of the Golden Crown have, since 1500, a transition ornamentation between the flamboyant Gothic and the Renaissance, while the other buildings (Small and Grand Government, Harnachement) testify to the continuous use of the castle between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. They house a large museum of history of Nantes and the Nantes country. The impressive restoration of the castle marks the visitor who enters the courtyard. Once pushed through the doors of the Grand Logis, it is equally appreciated inside the 32 rooms wh
