” Little death and great virtues “ from Christian Rolet and Véronique Poppe

“Little death and great virtues “, is a joint artistic project. Empathic and ironic. Reflexive and uninhibited. An exploration of the sacred bonds of marriage. Christian Rolet and Véronique Poppe jostled the springs and experienced the limits. A marriage of their vision with those of medicine and religious arts, which the Hospital Notre-Dame Hospital keeps alive, thus putting them in dialogue.
