Since art is a dynamic that is played out between two people (artist/spectator), Bouchard considers the question of responsibility and, by extension, that of competence, aptitude and good faith, both in the exhibitor and in the observer. The projects L'affable / dramatisation, Jouer au docteur / Be A Specialist presented in this book were an opportunity to bring together the professional worlds of health and art. The artist draws a parallel between the feeling of vulnerability and powerlessness that arises, in each field of activity, from the experience of being a subject of examination and having to submit to the gaze and judgement of the observer.
