During his residency at the Montluc prison memorial, Nicolas Daubanes discovered a photograph showing German soldiers breaking the memorial plaques on First World War monuments. The document shows granite debris on the ground and the inscriptions reveal fragments of words and names. Returning to this episode, Nicolas Daubanes decided to work with texts that narrate the torture of prisoners in the Montluc prison during the Nazi occupation. The work reproduces these texts on a porcelain plate that the artist breaks to convert the violent aesthetic of the fragment from a gesture of embarrassment. A porcelain fragment that acts as a memory fragment: the fragment of a testimony too painful to be fully assimilated. Daubanes then placed the fragment in a piece of concrete the same size as an archival document.
