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.

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
