All series of his work are comprehensively presented in texts and photographs of objects and portraits. Many previously unpublished views of installations and exhibitions as well as numerous drawings and sketches enhance the review, all complemented by video clips that can be accessed via QR codes, which provide the reader with short movies featuring background information about Peters's work, and those who wear his pieces and the art of jewelry. The last chapter of the catalogue will be dedicated to Peter's latest, hitherto unpublished series.
