Published on the occasion of David Lynch's major exhibition at Laforet Museum Harajuku, this first edition presents a comprehensive survey of the filmmaker's parallel practice as a visual artist. Produced by Akaaka Art Publishing in 2012, the volume brings together paintings, drawings, photographs, and mixed-media works that reveal the same psychological tension and dreamlike atmosphere that define Lynch's cinema.

Rather than functioning as an exhibition catalogue alone, the book offers an immersive entry into Lynch's visual universe, where distorted figures, fragmented narratives, and haunting landscapes blur the boundaries between painting, photography, and film. Essays by Takayo Iida and David Lynch provide further insight into the artist's creative process and the relationship between his cinematic and studio practices.

Elegantly art directed by Yuma Harada and produced in close collaboration with Asymmetrical Productions, this large format Japanese first edition stands among the finest publications devoted to David Lynch's artwork.

An essential reference for collectors of contemporary art, photography, and one of the most influential multidisciplinary artists of the past half century.
