Gregory Crewdson: Artist Analysis

By: Gregory Crewdson
Title:Untitled (Ophelia)
Series: Twighlight (2001)
Medium: Digital chromogenic print
Crewdson is known for making big productions of of his photos. He stages these elaborate scenes of American homes and neighborhoods, in western Massachusetts towns of Pittsfield, Lee, and surrounding areas. Crewdson tends to shut down entire streets when he's staging a scene and he gets an entire crew together to help him manufacture his vision. His multilayered, highly detailed work depicts surreal, mysterious scenes that show their suburban settings. I think this photo depicts how she's just floating in the boring nothingness of everyday life in the suburbs.
