A monumental and monolithic sculpture takes over the patio of the art center, mimicking a restaurant built according to traditional Breton slate architecture. Both sublime and marvelous, the building-sculpture recalls the world of fairy tales while incorporating that element of humor dear to the artist. On the first floor, metal sculptures are displayed like restaurant dishes, revealing dishes from a fantasized gastronomy. Divergent from a realistic sculptural heritage, Caroline Mesquita engulfs herself in a fantastic and dreamlike figurative representation. The restaurant's sharp slate-black gives way to a silky coppery gold; the scales are distorted: the building becomes miniaturized and the food on the restaurant's menu becomes gigantic.
