CAFÉ DE TANNAY
ENTOURAGE
the Tannay dump and landfill in its gorgeous Morvan rimmed setting just outside town (above); if we shift the camera to the right, from the opposite hill this is an early evening view (below)
the famous ‘Emaux de Briare’ tile factory has a dump where mosaic lovers of the world spend their holidays digging for special colors, shapes and motifs

When its renovation started the Café de Tannay quickly became a node in different supply and disposal relationships. First the house produces waste, tons of waste. The Tannay landfill’s supervisor wonders if anything at all will remain of the ancient site after our operations. Then the house imports tons of raw material, primarily sand and chalk and some wood, with which scars are recovered and new constructions made. Then also discarded material and (half-)products are imported, like the Briare tiles and occasional object which cannot be resisted, while refurbishment and embellishment are still months away.
