David Lynch

David Lynch is one of the most influential and original artists of our time. Most people know him as a visionary filmmaker and as the co-creator of Twin Peaks, but Lynch is also active in other artistic fields such as painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, music, and photography. 

Infinite Deep focuses on Lynch’s photographic work presenting more than 120 images. The photographs he has produced over the last decades have two enduring themes: women and abandoned factories. Working mostly in black and white, his imagery has a magical and timeless quality, with a strong element of the surreal. His photographs form dreamlike sequences which evoke the enigmatic quality of Lynch’s films. They invite the inquisitive visitor to enter a dark and mysterious visual world where the beautiful and the damned collide.  

As an artist, David Lynch is consciously in pursuit of deep, subconscious things that defy logical explanation and intellectual understanding. His photographs should be felt and experienced rather than understood. He has described his creative process this was: 

“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.” 

The exhibition consists of five different photo series: Snowmen, Factories, Nude, Distorted Nudes, and Portraits.
