TWILIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHS BY GREGORY CREWDSON

Crewdson's most recent photographic series, Twilight, is created as elaborate film stills, capturing the mysterious moment between before and after, revealing unknown or unimaginable aspects of reality domestic. A cow is lying on its back on the lawn between two houses, as firefighters secure the area and a man scans the sky. Could the cow have fallen from above? In another image, piles and stacks of inedible slices of bread - which look suspiciously like mysterious monoliths of Stonehenge - are watched over by an assembly of birds. At once utterly foreign and strangely familiar, these images are carefully orchestrated events that challenge our very notions of familiarity, undermining our sense of certainty. These Disturbing and evocative photographs combine beauty with horror, obsession to disgust, and the real to the surreal, suggesting narratives open to infinite interpretations. The book includes an essay written by the writer of fiction Rick Moody. The book and exhibitions include the forty images from the Twilight series, which began in 1998. These exhibitions and this book bear witness of the series' completion and mark the first time she will be seen in its entirety.
