Things David Lynch Taught Me
Few artists and creators have bent television to their will quite like David Lynch. Equal parts surrealist storyteller and culture/community provocateur, Lynch built a reputation on uncanny films like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire which made the everyday feel quietly sinister. But it was his groundbreaking TV series Twin Peaks that cracked open the medium, blending soap opera, crime drama and dream logic into something entirely new and beautifully bizarre.
The series follows the surreal investigation into the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer in a fictional Pacific Northwest logging town. Here, the everyday mundane is turned into something altogether thrilling, dangerous, sometimes even fatal (indeed, it starts with a scene of Laura’s dead body fished out of the town lake and throwing the viewer right into the deep end.
What starts as a standard who-done-it murder mystery, it soon spirals into a mind-bending, fever dream filled with backward-talking entities, decadently decorated rooms with dark secrets, and alternate dimensions. If audiences turned to television to escape, ‘Twin Peaks’ took them way out of this world.
When the series first aired internationally in April 1990, it sparked a sense that strange things were popular culture was about to be shook up and that stranger things were on the way. It was quite possibly the first television series to question normalcy, challenging traditional stereotypes, and basically putting the fucked-up condition of being human (dead or alive) on mass display for all to ogle and feel oddly familiar with. You could say Twin Peaks was the blueprint for alternative television that permeates TV guides today.
Decades on, Twin Peaks’ influence still hums beneath modern prestige television. So what exactly did Lynch teach us?
1. That red is a naughty colour
Whether it’s the cherry whose stem Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) ties into a knot with her tongue, or the tall velvet curtains that bled against the black-and-white zig-zag flooring in those warped rooms, red was where it’s at when it came to Lynche’s colour palette and, indeed, palate. His taste for the colour was as impeccable as Akira Kurosawa’s knowledge of it being a potent, seductive, sometimes unnerving shade. Marketers know this full well, which is why different reds are the most shades you see in lipstick collections, and why every brand – from McDonald’s to Coca-Cola – loves to see the colour bleed from their neons signs and logos. Put on rose-coloured glasses, and you won’t see the red. Glasses off, then…
2. Small towns aren’t as innocent as they seem
Behind white picket fences and good cherry pie lies something darker. Twin Peaks revealed that beneath the façade of wholesome Americana lurks secrecy, violence – including rape and murder – and moral ambiguity.
3. Dreams are a language worth listening to
Lynch doesn’t treat dreams as narrative fluff; to him they held relative clues. Symbolic, disjointed and emotionally charged, dreams often carry more truth than the waking world.
4. Tone is everything
Humour and horror can coexist. One moment you’re laughing at a deadpan exchange; the next, you’re unsettled by something you can’t quite explain. Lynch showed that tonal whiplash can be a feature, not a flaw.
5. Not every mystery needs solving
In a culture obsessed with answers, Twin Peaks embraced ambiguity. Some questions remain open, inviting viewers to sit with uncertainty rather than resolving it.
6. Sound and mood are excellent storytelling tools
From Angelo Badalamenti’s haunting score to the persistent hum of electricity, atmosphere does as much narrative work as dialogue. Lynch teaches us to feel a story, not just follow it. In the end, Twin Peaks isn’t just a show – it’s a mood, a puzzle, and a quiet dare to see the world differently. And in our uncanny digital age, combined with socio-economic stressors and the death of context in media, we’ve pretty much got no choice but to view the world from a new, alternative perspective.7. The beauty and importance of Transcendental Meditation
In real life, David Lynch talked a lot of the benefits of Transcendental Meditation (or TM for short). Transcendental Meditation (TM). TM is a simple mental technique in which you silently repeat a mantra to allow the active mind to naturally settle inward, accessing a state of “restful alertness”. TM helps you reduce stress and can take the mind to great places. For more information about TM, click here.

Anecdote intéressante concernant le film #Backrooms : son réalisateur #KaneParsons, 21 ans, aurait raconté en interview qu'il n'a jamais vu le #TwinPeaks de #DavidLynch, ni la série ni le film...
Cependant, son père était totalement fan de la série et il a grandit avec, il connaît les personnages, les intrigues, etc. !
On est tenté de dire : Un peu comme s'il avait le souvenir de ce qu'était un chien, mais sans jamais en avoir vu pour de vrai...

Movie maestro David Lynch hypnotizing you (2014). 🙂
I hand-painted a depth map for the arm, then used that to displace the photo in Blender. The hand edge stretches a bit, because there were no more pixels in that area. 😅

„Alle Uhren waren stehen geblieben. Eine Leere außerhalb der Zeit.
#DavidLynch #Leere #SoSein #Zeit #Zitat
Und da sind sie nun – blicken hinaus und verharren regungslos –
verharren an jenem Punkt, an dem zwei Welten aufeinandertreffen –
die vertraute – und die andere.“ -

David Lynch
„Ich war woanders. Ich dachte, ich wäre an einem bestimmten Ort, aber jetzt kannte ich diesen Ort nicht mehr. Ich schien mich in fremden Welten zu befinden, in denen eine Art beunruhigende Kameradschaft herrschte – als ob ein spukhafter Witz allen außer mir bekannt wäre, und doch wusste ich ihn auch ganz vage. Ich konnte mich nicht davon lösen – es war alles wie ein Magnet, und es lag Schönheit darin. Menschliche Wesen mit dem Gefühl, fremd geworden und offen für das Fallen und die Freude zu sein – sie schienen eine Freude daran zu haben, der Dunkelheit irgendwie ein Lachen anzunähen.“

This way a rock could dominate at musical chairs, but actually was part of the David Lynch exhibition at the Pace Gallery at the start of 2026. It showcased a variety of works by the artist who is sadly no longer with us.

"I think every time you do something, like a painting or whatever, you go with ideas, and sometimes the past can conjure those ideas. And color them, even if they're new ideas, the past colors them."
