Paris Photo 2012

For the first time, Paris Photo presents an original journey within the galleries: "Paris Photo seen by ...". In 2012, Paris Photo entrusts David Lynch with the task of choosing from among the works exhibited by the gallery owners. An original way for the public to contemplate the works whilst at the same time discovering the artist´s aesthetic universe. "Looking at David Lynch´s selection is a bit like visiting Paris Photo in his company; a dialogue begins; we do look at the works "together", but first of all we look at them in a different way, through a "Lynchian" filter. Our first perception undergoes a distortion, the reading becomes a plural one and reveals the metaphoric power of every image; I believe it will be the same for other visitors, only that Lynch´s subconscious takes over: the body, the strangeness, the potential narrative and the ambiguity of the image are always present." Julien Frydman, Director of Paris Photo
