Les assises de l'imposture

Where do the strange drawings collected in this equally strange book come from? Some claim they were created by a certain Prody Pierce, based on notebooks and sketches discovered in a mysterious trunk. Others suggest it's the result of a fantastical story of plagiarism between two rival artists. Yet another rumor insists these images were simply designed as interpretive tools for eccentric psychologists...

Much like an ancient treasure unearthed from the archaeological site of a vanished civilization, this series of illustrations keeps all its secrets. The enigmatic language woven through the pages is now lost to time. The figures preserve their anonymity; the scenes remain impenetrable. Together, they create a drifting world, a hushed, liminal atmosphere rivaling the surreal tableaux of Magritte or the drawings of Topor and Bill Plympton. In this misty microcosm, where bodies distort and reality dissolves, one must be willing to abandon logic to truly savor the deception.
