David Lynch's The Air is on Fire

First time in Paris and the world to see the artworks of the famous film director David Lynch - the master of the nightmarish and dreamlike films like The Elephant man and Mullholland Drive.

The Air is on Fire provides the opportunity to explore the many sides to his personality in the fields of painting, photography, cinema, sculpture and sound. It presents both old sketches collected since he was young and creations produced especially for the exhibition in a scenography designed in close collaboration with the artist.

To me, the exhibition presents dark and twisted side of human psyche. Some aggressive images through the the space. You will already get struck by the first painting of a couple - the man with a knife in his hand asking the woman half naked on the sofa "do you want to know what I really think?"...or many photographs with a horrid sexual feel to the distorted images...Definitely not recommend to bring your kid along, or else better provide a good answer to any questions that may arise.

The exhibition runs at the Cartier Foundation in Paris until 27 May, 2007.
