Zwei Briefe zum Abschied - Laura Dern und Kyle MacLachlan über David Lynch
Der Tod von David Lynch hallt nach. Ich habe noch sehr viele Texte – weitestgehend aus der filmanalytischen Ecke stammend – über ihn und seine Kunst im Browser offen, die ich bisher noch nicht lesen konnte. Aber zunächst möchte ich diese berührenden, ehrerbietigen Texte, geschrieben von Lynchs langjährigen Weggefährt:innen Laura Dern und Kyle MacLachlan.
As I sit here frozen, trying to put words to all that I feel about David Lynch on his birthday, I keep thinking that it’s too soon — too soon to express what I’m feeling, all while heartbreak surrounds us in our city right now.
Too soon to navigate through this grief or to sum up art’s greatest dreamer, as well as my dearest friend. As I think about how he lived, by truly diving into the unconscious, I reflect on his book “Catching the Big Fish” and how he wrote that catching ideas was like fishing. The extraordinary Isabella Rossellini (who I share in this life, thanks to David) recently reminded me that David always considered ideas like fragments that come to us and that by trusting them, we follow those ideas “like a seed.” So today, David, on your birthday, I will write you a love letter of fragments. Like meditation, I will remember our story by allowing all the delicious, awe-filled moments to float in, and I will try to reach toward them.

Laura Dern’s letter to David Lynch: You wove L.A. into our dreams
The Oscar-winning actor reflects on a lifetime of work with the filmmaker, with whom she collaborated on ‘Blue Velvet,’ ‘Wild at Heart’ and ‘Inland Empire.’
Laura Dern
In our work together, he entrusted me with carrying these things in his mind out into the world. To bring them to life. So onscreen I might have been his avatar. But he was also mine. He was the floating presence on my shoulder that told me I could do it.
I was willing to follow him anywhere because joining him on the journey of discovery, searching and finding together, was the whole point. I stepped out into the unknown because I knew David was floating out there with me.
