Asclepios is a composition that deals with the world of the hospital. Ludovic Paquelier associates images which become indices, key words for the spectators. So we find, pell-mell, a labyrinth, a spiral, a pattern of snakeskin, the caduceus; a relaxing landscape, the word asclepios (god of medicine in Greek antiquity)… all this highlighted by the figure of the doctor who turns in front of us to taunt us, his index finger in the air, making us understand that found the key to this enigma.
