First edition published in 2004 by Absurda.

In 1999, David Lynch scanned some pictures from Uwe Scheid's book called "1,000 Nudes" displaying women in boudoirs and brothels in the 1920s. For this photo series, that he named "Distorted Nudes," David Lynch then digitally manipulated these erotic photographs into strange shapes, some of which resemble Francis Bacon's paintings: he lopped off heads and limbs with Photoshop and stretched the shapes this way and that. A few of these kaleidoscopic images of human bodies, reverted to morphing forms of light against a black backdrop, have been recently exhibited in Antwerp during the "It Was Like Dancing With a Ghost" show.
