In Vienne-le-Château, the Harazée National Cemetery is set within a landscape where memories surface at every turn. Between the church scarred by battle, the Bois de la Gruerie, and the remains of the rest camps, visitors traverse a landscape where the traces of World War I remain visible and palpable.

This audio tour offers an immersive experience, straddling the line between reality and fiction. Guided by a contemporary voice, the listener journeys through the sites, navigating between personal perception, historical archives, and flashes of imagination. The narratives overlap: those of the soldiers, those of the landscape, and that of a modern perspective confronted with the impossibility of telling the story.

Throughout the journey, memory is not presented as fixed knowledge, but as a living, fragmentary, and sometimes contradictory substance. Here, listening becomes an active act: a way of inhabiting the territory, of questioning the legacy of war and our own relationship to history.

Amélie Lucas-Gary

Amélie Lucas-Gary was born in 1982 in Arcachon and lives in Paris. After studying history and cinema at the Sorbonne, Amélie Lucas-Gary graduated from the École Nationale de la Photographie d’Arles in 2009. Since then, her practice has evolved to become primarily literary. She has published three novels: Grotte (2014) published by Christophe Lucquin Éditeur, Vierge (2017) and Hic (2020), published by Éditions du Seuil. The latter was written during a writing residency in New Zealand. All of Amélie Lucas-Gary’s novels address the question of creation: that of the universe in Hic, the author’s genesis in Vierge, and the premises of art history in Grotte. 

More recently, she published Féticheuses, an invitation from the Fléchettes collection of Sun/sun editions to take one of the images from the Albert Kahn Museum’s autochrome collection.
