Gregory Crewdson makes large-scale photographs of elaborate and meticulously staged tableaux that probe the dark corners of the psyche. Working in the manner of a film director, he leads a production crew, which includes a director of photography, special effects and lighting teams, casting director, and actors. Several exposures are made that Crewdson later digitally combines to produce the final image.This work, set in a small Massachusetts town, presents an unsettling mise-en-scène, reminiscent of the films of David Lynch or Steven Spielberg. Though the narrative is ambiguous, the visual tensions that emerge between the central female figure, the car poised in the driveway at left, and the older woman seated in her living room to the right, suggest alienation, haunted relationships, and a sense of foreboding.
