An in-depth, richly illustrated exploration of the work and life of cinema and TV’s greatest cult creator.
Without David Lynch, our world would have been a much more ordinary place. As a filmmaker, screenwriter, designer, musician, visual artist and living avatar of all things uncanny, his influence pervaded every corner of our culture.
Alongside his game-changing TV series 'Twin Peaks', Lynch also created big-screen masterpieces such as his DIY debut 'Eraserhead' and unconventional mystery thrillers 'Blue Velvet', 'Lost Highway' and 'Mulholland Drive'. But Lynch was also a cult figure in his own right, releasing albums under his own name, staging art shows, photography exhibitions and design showcases from LA to Milan, and sharing his spiritual philosophy and love of Transcendental Meditation with audiences around the globe.
Published in a lavish, slip-cased edition, David Lynch: His Work, His World covers all aspects of this truly eclectic output while also exploring Lynch’s many influences to tell the full story of how he worked, created, thought and lived.
An in-depth collection of the rich influences and sources of inspiration behind perhaps cinema and TV’s greatest cult creator, David Lynch.
