A fresco and amers sculptures
Gwalenner (or The Surveyors) tells the story of a past and future invariant of the DDTM professions, through the notion of surveying the territory and cartography.
The activities of the three administrative departments share a strong relationship with the sea and the land. They also share the work of men and women committed to the management and development of the Morbihan region. So how do we embody this relationship, which necessarily involves technical mediation? How can we propose a work that places the natural and maritime environment at the heart of the spaces? How can we convey the human involvement of DDTM staff?
The fresco
The fresco reproduces a cartographic projection of the Morbihan region, installed like a stained-glass window over the full height and width of the windows overlooking the patio, between the upper ground floor and the second floor (6 x 20 m). The original drawing was done by hand in watercolor (1/8th scale). A multitude of brushstrokes in shades of green and blue reproduce the land and sea. The orientation of these brushstrokes originates from the patio.
The amers
An amer is a remarkable point visible from the sea, whether natural (summit, rock, cape, islet, etc.) or man-made (bell tower, lighthouse, tower, etc.). In the Morbihan region, six remarkable points have been selected for their shape and geographical location. They are interpreted in sandstone using an original technique, the accumulation of "pinches":
The Fisherman's House
The Needles of Port-Coton
The Grim
Gavrinis Cairn
The Grands Cardinaux lighthouse
The English Tower
The project was realized with the collaboration of Marianne Homiridis / Bureau des projets and the technical participation of Glace Contrôle for the Lumière & Transparence© film and Camille Grosperrin for the modeling.
