Twilight: Photographs by Gregory Crewdson

Product Information

The woman in this picture has drawn a circle on the window that separates her interior space from a larger world that she peers out toward. Sitting at a dinner room table with his father and sister, an adolescent boy witnesses his absent mother appear nude at the front door, wet with rain and mud, carrying uprooted flowers from the garden. The book includes 40 untitled photographs (plates) which are all seemingly shot at 'Twilight' which he says is an evocative time for the 'movement of transition between before and after' which is what the shots are about.

As a photographer, Crewdson has made a career out of taking still pictures that use the elaborate production values usually found in the cinema.

Crewdson's recent photographs are increasingly dark and mysterious in tone as they move deeper into the psychological bedrock of social alienation, personal obsession, and sexual desire.I looked at his work a million times trying to figure out the lighting and why it looks so beautiful.

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of twenty new photographs by Gregory Crewdson.Some of the photos are so surreal they almost look like hyper real paintings rather than a set and staged photo. Crewdson's most recent series of photographs, Twilight, are created as elaborately constructed film stills, catching the mysterious moment of time between before and after, revealing unknowable or unimaginable aspects of domestic reality. In different ways, their work questions and challenges photography's relationship to truth while simultaneously depending on photography's ability to faithfully record and document.

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Luhring Augustine is pleased to announce an exhibition of new photographs from Gregory Crewdson’s series Twilight, on view from February 19 – March 25, 2000. This will be his third solo exhibition in New York since his last show at Luhring Augustine in 1997.As smartphones and artificial intelligence make photography easier and easier, Crewdson makes it as difficult as he possibly can. This collision between the normal and the paranormal produce a tension that serves to transform the topology of the suburban landscape into a place of wonder and anxiety. The scenes of Twilight are created in collaboration with a large production crew, and the members of a small suburban community. Often these photographs present a single isolated figure and the feeling that these strange encounters evoke is of stealing a glimpse of something shameful that should be hidden – something private, enigmatic or transgressive. At the meeting point of suburbia with something altogether more wild, Crewdson configures a mysterious relationship between a man, his car and a luminous open shed.

The kitchen itself seems to have been transformed into some kind of greenhouse, it looks hot, plants and flowers are growing in abundance yet there is a woman sat in the middle of frame, in the pile of flowers. As Rick Moody suggests in his essay, Crewdson seems preocupied with "the resection of the suburban ideal, where dream strategies, like condensation and displacement, the action of metaphor, undergird the here and now. The indefatigable artist has been the subject of exhibitions at the world’s most prestigious institutions, from the Museum of Modern Art and Centre Pompidou to the Stedelijk Museum and Tate Modern.Crewdson may not be viewed as a photographer in the traditional sense and not be to everyone's taste but that's the beauty of photography, it moves around, changes and evolves and, as I have read many times now, does not necessarily mean one lone person travelling the country and globe to capture the shot. Scheduled to accompany three simultaneous gallery exhibitions in Spring 2002 and a subsequent retrospective at Mass MoCA, this book chronicles the completion of the Twilight series, which Crewdson began in 1998.
