Dr Rachel Coombes @rcoombes.bsky.social · 03/08/2026This is so weird... I'm trying to think at the moment about Brittany and (an extension of) Pierre Nora's idea of "lieux de mémoire". Feel like this fits very well... 110 1
Prof. Francesca Berry (she/her) @francescaberry.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Hehe. Glad maybe to have helped, inadvertently, to supply an image to your thoughts. It’s a weird painting. I’m not quite sure how to feel about it. The ‘peasant’/‘tech’ thing. It has no date but if it is a kinetoscope at centre then it’s a v specific dating to 1894 and a couple of years after. 110 1
Dr Rachel Coombes @rcoombes.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Interesting. V grateful also that you've introduced me to a new painter besides MD who was super into the Breton pardons at that time 🤣 010 1
