From Théâtre des opérations François Michaud.
Do I need to say it ? I discovered the work of Jérôme Borel in a art-collecting dentist's office. Through all the operations, my eyes would lock with a painting from the Paysages series. I would try in vain to catch a glimpse of a hint that would tell me the name of the author. I remembered paintings by Eberhard Havekost. Lying in an uncomfortable position, I could not see the painting directly and had to train my mind as to examine it without help from my eyes, trying to focus my attention away from the moving machines. When it finally stopped I saw the painting, at last.
