TWILIGHT PHOTOGRAPHS - Gregory Crewdson
Twilight is the magical hour when ordinary routines undergo strange transformations. Gregory Crewdson's Twilight series, begun in 1998 and completed in 2002, consists of forty photographs created as elaborate, large-scale tableaux that explore the domestic landscape and its relationship with an artificially accentuated natural world. The collision between the normal and the paranormal in these narrative images produces a tension that serves to transform the topology of the suburban landscape into a place of wonder and anxiety.
As Rick Moody suggests in his essay, Crewdson seems preoccupied with"the resection of the suburban ideal, where dream strategies, such as condensation and displacement, the action of metaphor, underlie the here and now." Moody's essay reveals as much as it conceals, suggesting that life and memory can be points of entry into art.
