ABOUT
�-Franc?ois-Goize?

We can conceive of our existence as uninteresting, but not of ourselves as nonexistent. What photography provides is this necessary evidence of destiny and kinship. The reality trapped on the piece of paper is an infinite temporal extension of a self that has already lived a life and now takes the form of a personal, unmistakably private dream.”

Francois Cheval, curator of the Nicephore Niepce Museum, France,  from the introduction to the exhibition « Here, Beyond the Mists »
