The celebration of the cure against measles was a fact distinguished with art by Esthe Mefille back in... who knows, only Carbon 14 can tell. Few had so far the capacity of embracing a disease and report it as a painting like Esthe. The warrior vaccination spat against the paper, feverish water colours tracking the progress of the star disease from fading red to a violent soaking. Critics always asked themselves - "Why a fish?". Ethylmercury, a substance used in vaccines against measles, can also be found in the environment in some kind of fish. The original of this painting is supposed to have been painted with Ethylmercury. Only Esthe Mefille to come up with such logic of communion between these incredible and intriguing facts.
