Description ▲
Filled with dreamlike and eerie images, this first book of photographs from the director David Lynch offers a window into the iconic filmmaker s creative vision. Anyone familiar with David Lynch s cinematic achievement will identify similarities between this series of photographs and his most powerful films. Dark and beautiful, mystical and enigmatic, these photos reveal Lynch s unique style. The exterior and interior black and white shots of factories in Berlin, Poland, New York, England, and other locations are filled with Lynchian characteristics: labyrinthine passages, decaying walls, industrial waste, and detritus. Devoid of nature, the dying, manmade structures are actually being overtaken by nature s innate power. They are haunting cathedrals of a bygone industrial era the perfect setting for a David Lynch film, and a revealing addition to his unique and fascinating oeuvre.
