DAVID LYNCH (b.1946) is a film and television director whose work is often characterized through unusual narrative structures, non-linear chronologies and chaos inducing plot lines.
Lynchs' film works, including Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive and most recently Inland Empire as well as his innovative television series Twin Peaks, are often set in a hyper-normal setting, almost an exaggeration of normalcy. The actors are emphasizing their words and expressions, the picketed fence is white. The hyper normal state is then ruptured by a dramatically changing event which shifts even our memory of what was previously experienced. The stories collide, the characters exchange skins and roles.
