David Lynch: The Factory Photographs

Filled with dreamlike and eerie images, this first book of photographs by director David Lynch offers a glimpse into the iconic filmmaker’s creative vision. Anyone familiar with David Lynch’s cinematic legacy will recognize 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 black-and-white exterior and interior shots of factories in Berlin, Poland, New York, England, and other locations are filled with Lynchian elements: labyrinthine passages, decaying walls, industrial waste, and debris. Devoid of nature, these dying, man-made structures are, in fact, 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 body of work.
