Luminous Memento is a memorial in homage to the citizens of Poitiers died in various conflicts since the First World War.
The names of the deceased appear and pass through a translucent concrete to digitally engrave for a moment their memory in the stone. To honor the missing, every anniversary arises several times their name to commemorate beyond their death, the birth of those citizens who defended France.
