After several months of getting to know the hospital without taking any pictures under the service of Pr Hélardot in visceral surgery, I decided to orientate my work towards this mysterious place : the operation ward. In this precise place, the body of the patient is given in its totality to the medical body, the "princes of blood", in other words the surgeons. For just one moment, the body becomes just another piece of material. When the whole team is ready and in order, the saving of other lives can begin. Each one has their place, the eyes of each one respond to another, the gestures which succeed seem to express more than having mastered a technic, the protection of a human being between two worlds.
