About

The lecture invites listeners to delve into the nuances of director David Lynch's influence on Japanese manga. The lecture will take place as part of the mini-festival "Black Wigwam." The lecturer, Alisa Haba, will discuss how David Lynch's works, such as "Twin Peaks" and "Mulholland Drive," influenced the style of Japanese manga authors. Particularly interesting is the transition into the space of the 'other,' which is a characteristic feature of Lynch and is vividly manifested in the manga of Urasawa, Okubo, and Asano. Lynch's surreal techniques-transitions between worlds, psychological doubles, instability of perception-resonated in the manga of the 1990s and 2000s. These techniques allow for the expression of unstable psychological states of the characters and create a sense of blurring boundaries between reality and fiction. The theme of the 'other' becomes a tool for plot development and a means of transforming the reader's perception. In manga, as in Lynch's films, visual elements and frames are used to create a unique atmosphere that immerses the audience in a world with unusual laws and multifaceted characters. Guests of the lecture will see that Lynch's influence extends not only to cinema but also to other forms of art. We share on KudaGo where to go in St. Petersburg this weekend for free.
