Twilight is that 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 large-scale, elaborate tableaux that explore the domestic landscape and its relationship with an artificially heightened natural world. The collision between the normal and the paranormal in these narrative images creates a tension that transforms the topography of the suburban landscape into a place of wonder and anxiety.
As Rick Moody suggests in his essay, Crewdson seems concerned with“the resection of the suburban ideal, where strategies of dreaming—such as condensation and displacement, the workings of metaphor—underpin the here and now.” Moody’s essay reveals as much as it conceals, suggesting that life and memory can serve as entry points into art.
