Twilight: Photographs by Gregory Crewdson

Product Information

The original press release for an exhibition of work by Gregory Crewdson titled "Twilight" and held at Luhring Augustine, NYC, February 19 - March 25, 2000. A small part of me, maybe the working class, northern 'neigh lass what d'yer want to look at stuff like that fer' wants to fight against it and questions whether it is a little pretentious, but that is a very small, minuscule part of me and one which, for many years in the quest of my creativity, I have had to strongly fight against. The photographs combine a realist aesthetic sensibility with a highly orchestrated interplay of cinematic lighting, staging, and special effects.

A naked, pregnant woman stands in the garden; a mid-size sedan stops on the lawn with the door open; suitcases surround a grave in the woods; a man climbs a beanstalk made of coloured lights. Each of these three pictures feature themes and motifs and iconography that I still use as central elements in my pictures.DeMille of American photography (if DeMille was Orson Welles), Crewdson collaborates with large crews to construct scenes that span the fissure between humdrum and heroic.

In 2012, the documentary Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters by Ben Shapiro premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival. Over the past few years, Crewdson's productions have become increasingly ambitious; his photographs sometimes require dozens of assistants and technicians, large format cameras, an array of lights, make-up and wardrobe, as well as computerised post-production.
