Six men getting sick ( Six figures, 1967)

".... This film was designed to be projected on a special screen-sculpture whose surface comprised, at precise places, reliefs representing heads (moulded on that of the author) and of 3D arms. The film appeared on the screen in such way that part of the projected heads fell on those in relief, and were deformed by them...."


Michel Chion " David Lynch ", les cahiers du cinema.



It is during these years in Philadelphia (years very black for Lynch who considered this city as the most dark and decadent of all) that he will create " Six figures ".

Regarded as a Film-painting, this work will cost him not less than 200 $ and will be presented to the exposure of its school (Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts) in 1966. Let us specify how this one will help Lynch to obtain a price! He will sell another Film-painting, five times more expensive than the old one to a millionaire who saw his work.
