Abstract

Anne and Patrick Poirier’s artistic research, particularly on the theme of memory, has been nourished by the ancient ruins that they had the occasion to study during several trips. A major influence came to them from Villa Medici and from Hadrian’s Villa, which they repeatedly visited in 1977.
