For the first time, Paris Photo presents an original journey within the galleries: "Paris Photo seen by ..." In 2012, Paris Photo entrusted 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." Julien Frydman, Director of Paris Photo, writes: "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."
