Gregory Crewdson is a photographer, but his images have something special. Looking at them, in fact, has the feeling of watching a scene from a film, with the difference that we can see what will be the only frame you'll see. Yes, because Crewdson sets up the actual movie sets, but what comes out is a single, extraordinary photography. It 's a job that requires the intervention of dozens between assistants and technical staff to the lights, make-up and post-production.
The characters that inhabit the scenarios designed by Crewdson are often caught in attitudes suspended in the middle between before and after, and have painted on the face expressions of anxiety or concern, as if something extraordinary or shocking is going on or has already happened . The atmosphere is at times dreamlike, surreal. Dramatic use of light, usually at dusk, that cuts the air space increases the drama of the moment. Among the models inspired by the artist declared, the director David Lynch (Blue Velvet on all his films).
For those curious about the artistic life of Crewdson 1985-2005, the invitation to visit the staff that the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, he will pay from 18 December to 2 March 2008. (Http://www.artsblog.it)
