Gregory Crewdson: The Aesthetics of Repression
2004 / 58 min. / color
Directed by Michael Blackwood
Meticulously setting up each cinematic shot, Gregory Crewdson has mastered a style of eerie realism intended the make the regular feel foreign. Similar to David Lynch’s specific use of the uncanny in films such as “Blue Velvet”, Crewdson’s work paints a dark, deep portrait of American suburbia. Much like a film director, Crewdson achieves his startling images by working with a professional crew including a director of photography, a camera operator, a production designer, actors and a casting director. His astonishingly elaborate sets create a unique realm of mise-en-scène, inspired largely by the works of American artists and film directors. Gregory Crewdson: The Aesthetics of Repression observes and questions the photographer during his work on ten new images.
