This essay is a preliminary reflection in the wake of the collaboration initiated with an artist, Arkadi Lavoie Lachapelle, as part of an interdisciplinary project on art and bioethics. I will first say a few words about the concept of law to which I adhere and the methodological conclusions that I draw. These remarks will serve as background to the reflections that were inspired by my collaboration with Arkadi Lavoie Lachapelle in this project. I will then venture to the side of art criticism by proposing an outline of a reading of certain works of the artist. Finally, I will make a few remarks related to my reflexive ethical experience of the practice of qualitative research methodology and comparisons that can be made with artistic practice.
