Présentation
The images of Peter Franck are uncanny and familiar. Uncanny because impossible.
Familiar because loaded with so many signs bringing us back to indisputable images,
already encountered many times and accepted as universal truths. Their strength is
there, in this simple and irrefutable demonstration that certain images inhabit us and
already inhabited the world long before us.
