Pays'Âges reveals the identity of endangered territories (rising waters, human footprint, disappearance of biodiversity, ...) from an unusual artistic angle : from the sky. This project, winner of the Mondes Nouveaux call, is supported by the French Ministry of Culture and the Coastal Conservatory.
Dorian Etienne creates several "tapestry-testimonies" in large format and volume, through this local and itinerant project. They present the singularities of the region, its topography and its biodiversity. They are made on site with local and natural materials (plant fibers, animal fibers, dye plants mainly invasive). These monumental works testify of a "state of the place" at this crucial moment of ecological disruption.
Pays'Âges is also a participative project: the inhabitants are invited to learn with the artist the techniques of tufting and plant dyeing, then to participate daily in the highlighting of their territory by the realization of the artwork.
These creations will be reproduced a few decades later. Exhibited alongside the first ones, the diptychs will artistically testify to the evolution of the region as well as to the ecological and societal issues at stake.
Before that, each "tapestry-testimony" is accompanied by a large-format print of the territory, projected in 50 years. This scenario is realized through the analysis of local evolution data, with the support of researchers and specialized organizations.
The Pays'Âges collection, growing year after year, will thus support the work of local structures in their mission of protection and enhancement of the environment, biodiversity and landscapes.

Tapestry manufacture at Aubusson, in the upper valley of the Creuse in central France, may have developed from looms in isolated family workshops established by Flemings that are noted in documents from the 16th century. Typically, Aubusson tapestries depended on engravings as a design source or the full-scale cartoons from which the low-warp tapestry-weavers worked. As with Flemish and Parisian tapestries...Category
