Rather than confronting our gaze with the preserved works, Marc-Antoine Mathieu prefers to treat the museum as a work in its own right and gives us his thoughts in the form of a journey through the secret and hidden places that are the cogs, the mechanics and the machinery of it. From the moulding room to the frame workshop, from the copy workshop to the masterpiece room, we are invited on an original and surprising visit and we meet characters with curious and strangely disturbing activities.
As is often the case in Marc-Antoine Mathieu's work, this journey is a reflection in the form of a fable which, this time, deals with art, its conservation and its transmission.
