GUSTAVE BUILT
Since 2018, Jean-Paul VIGNE has been developing a fictional story about a character named Gustave BUILT:
Using recycled materials and other technical means, Gustave Built, a late 21st-century industrialist, helped restore normality after the "Great Void" catastrophe that wiped out all knowledge. His life and work are exhibited in the Gustave Built Museum.
Triptych "G. BUILT"
It seems that some people held the director of the Gustave Built factory in high esteem, a veneration that led to the commissioning of this triptych. A painting on three wooden panels depicting phases of Gustave Built's life: youth and the creation of machines.
Various GB objects

Wedding figurine that most likely decorated the wedding cake of Gustave Built. 4th quarter of the 21st century. The two figures were joined at the waist (traces of a clear break between the two bodies on one of the fragments).
Also traces of pigments, mainly gray, on the man's clothing. Note the fineness of the lace on the wedding dress.
"I lost my way"
Text in Old French. Engraved stone found on Gustave BUILT's desk.
Does it represent an observation, a personal questioning of G. BUILT?
The machines
The Gustave BUILT factory built a series of machines around the 2080s.
Over time, they were forgotten, then rediscovered and finally exhibited in a museum.
The Collapse
of the vault
of the chapel
SIXTINE
Fiction G. BUILT: In the "documentary" about Gustave Built, his grandson, Marcus Goldstar, mentions the collapse of the vault of the Sistine Chapel in Rome (around 2089).
Of the immense fresco, only the fragment presented here could be saved from the ruins.
The view of the chapel (etching by G.Built) was also saved from the "Great Void" and archaeologists tried to reconstruct the state of the chapel after the third collapse (photos).
