The 6th edition of the InCadaqués festival brings David Lynch to Casa Dalí

On October 6, the seventh edition of the InCadaqués International Photography Festival was inaugurated, which can be visited until Sunday, October 15 this year.

For the third consecutive year, the Dalí Foundation joins this initiative with the outdoor spaces of Casa Salvador Dalí in Portlligat, a special scenography for these images. This year, the project chosen by the festival comes from the hand of the prestigious American filmmaker David Lynch.

The exhibition is made up of a total of eight photographs that are gathered under the title Light: essence of photography, it is curated by Nathaly Charria Jiménez and is part of a collaboration between the David Lynch Foundation, the Gala-Salvador Foundation Dalí and the InCadaqués Photography Festival.

In Charria's words, "this exhibition looks at light as David Lynch explores it" and also comments that "Lynch sees light as an expression of truth distinct from and at the same time marked by geographical location and the notion of home".

According to the curator, "the warm light of California in the golden hour inspires Lynch's surreal filmic landscapes and cinematic themes. Similarly, the light of Cadaqués is a world-famous magnet and muse; as experienced in the gardens of Salvador Dalí". Charria believes that "Surrealists understand the subjective nature of reality, which is why we avoid questions about the meaning of our work."

The curator places Lynch's work "within a dreamlike world of visions that goes beyond the limits of the human condition and within the Unified Field of Consciousness." And he recommends that we "experience this exhibition while imagining an energetic connection between us and the work of art, from which an invisible circle leads us into the interior of indefinite knowledge".

To conclude, he suggests that "we let the light speak to us and experience the power to construct our own reality wherever inner knowing guides our subjective truth."
