Description
Book Synopsis: The latest volume of the polymathic filmmaker's protean nude portraiture.
Though he is best known as a writer and director, David Lynch has long been dedicated to photography. This volume is the second installment of Lynch’s series of photographic explorations of the female figure. Digital Nudes brings together a corpus of previously unpublished digital images in line with the aesthetics of the first volume’s analog photographs, while experimenting with the possibilities offered by digital technology.
Kaleidoscopic visions of legs, arms or inscrutable landscapes of soft skin, chiaroscuro portraits where the stark lighting cuts across his subjects as cleanly as a knife, images of varnished nails and lacquered mouths all appear—the American filmmaker’s photography embodies a style that can only be described as “Lynchian.” The Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain presents this collection of images that combine the surreal and the sensual to create new, nearly uncanny interpretations of feminine beauty.
