Description
An in-depth collection of the work and life of perhaps cinema and TV's greatest cult creator, David Lynch.
In 1990 David Lynch released 'Twin Peaks' and television would never quite be the same again. Ostensibly a mystery serial drama, the series introduced viewers to a surreal and eccentric world of uncanny and camp strangeness that has gone down in pop culture legend. With his films, the most famous of which are 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Blue Velvet', but which also include 'The Elephant Man', 1984's 'Dune' and the Palme d'Or winning 'Wild at Heart', Lynch created similarly strange, sylised and perplexing worlds, rich in invention.
Across his career Lynch turned his attention to film, television, art, music, photography, Transcendental Meditation and - more recently - nightclub design and weather forecasting, and his sources of influence and inspiration are equally diverse. These range across painting, photography, cinema, literature and beyond, and collectively help unlock his hugely influential work.
David Lynch: His Work, His World brings Lynch's complete output together into one visually led collection, and tells the full story of how he worked, created, thought and lived.
