Biography

Anton Perich Anton Perich Kristina Korsholm

From 1965 to 1970, Perich lived in Paris, France and became close to the group of poets and artist working in the Lettrism group: (Isidore Isou, Maurice Lemaître), but also with the French film underground milieu (Piero Heliczer, Michel Auder, Raphaël Bassan, Slobodan Pajic, Pierre Clémenti). During that period, Perich changed his first name and became Antoine Perich, because Anton was not familiar a name in France. He was among the first activists to present, every week, programs of avant-garde and underground films at the American Center in Paris.
