Description
David Lynch: A Study of Plastic Worlds This book explores the work of film director David Lynch, focusing on his use of design and architecture in his films. Justus Nieland examines how Lynch's films create immersive environments that transport viewers to inner worlds built from mood, texture, and unease. Lynch's films are characterized by their distinctive mise-en-scène, which often features plastic as a key material. This study argues that plastic is a crucial element in Lynch's work, influencing both his artistic vision and the way he represents the human body. Nieland places Lynch's experimentalism within various aesthetic traditions, including modernism and the avant-garde. The book offers new insights into Lynch's major works, including Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Dr., as well as his early experimental films. It also considers contemporary debates about cinematic ontology in the digital age, suggesting that Lynch's concept of life remains relevant today.
