David Lynch: the abstraction in human form

David Lynch, who died on 15 January 2025 at the age of 78, made surreal, deeply unsettling films and television shows, including Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and many others. His works were mysterious, even inscrutable at times, and used dreamlike imagery to explore the alienated state of American society. Despite the eccentricity of much of his output, he enjoyed considerable success and amassed a legendary reputation as a singular artist with the unique ability to capture the absurdity of everyday life under capitalism.

Deze keer niet.


L’impero del caos di Trump e l’illusione della “Fortezza America”

Donald Trump sarà di nuovo alla guida della più grande potenza imperialista della storia. Ha fatto promesse generiche su un ritorno della “grandezza” americana e ci sono grandi aspettative rispetto a un sovvertimento vero e proprio dell’odiato status quo.
