	Gregory Crewdson: hover
		Crewdson is less interested in the literal fact of the corpse then he is in using the body as a surrogate to explore the dark and mysterious unrealities of the imagination.
		Crewdson's new body of work, entitled hover, is comprised of a series of fl and white landscape photographs taken from the aerial perspective of an elevated crane looking down upon orchestrated scenes staged in and around the homes and backyards of a small suburban subdivision.
		Crewdson's seamless blurring of photographic realism and hyperbolic fiction produces a complex and compelling set of tensions that bring together the ordinary and the sublime, beauty and repulsion, domesticity and wilderness, and nature and artifice.

	'Prozac Nation - the "Twilight" photographs of Gregory Crewdson' by Adrian Gargett - Get Underground Featured Article ...
		Gregory Crewdson is a generous transcriber of appearances, pedantically exact in the details, insistent about where objects begin and end, what light does to colour, what gravity does to forms.
		Crewdson's aesthetic is based in what is termed a "directorial" mode of photography, the tendency to "make" rather "take" photographs, that appears mannered and artificial, as if there is a heavy narrative in play, but one also maintained in suspension.
		Crewdson is not shy about his works psychological probing being grounded in his father's profession as a psychoanalyst in Brooklyn.

		But Crewdson tries to turn the fact that much of what is going on in his photographs is a bit unbelievable into uncanniness.
		Crewdson's interest in the unhinged and inexplicable is compelling, but comes across too often as theatrical and strained, as in Victorian paintings.
		If Crewdson's images sometimes have the quality of primal scenes and traumas, they are also like half-remembered scenes from movies, which the mind has both embellished and incorporated into autobiography, as if these witnessed fictions had become part of one's own life.

	Guggenheim Museum - Curriculum Online
		To create his first mature body of work in the early 1990s, Crewdson constructed elaborate, small-scale dioramas of generic neighborhood backyards in which the flora and fauna enacted strange rituals: birds built a circle out of eggs, butterflies congregated to form a pyramid, vines turned into braids.
		Pregnant Woman in Pool belongs to his Twilight series (1998–2002), in which Crewdson expanded his subject matter to include images of individuals lost in the reverie of their own bizarre behavior, such as digging up a lawn within the confines of one’s own living room or wading, fully-dressed, in a kiddy pool at night.
		Crewdson carefully constructs these images, like sets for a film or play—in fact, he had a 35-person crew helping him create this scene.

		In Crewdson's work, meaning is kept just out of reach, where it lurks like a repressed trauma.

		This sensation of foreboding, a staple of the artistic imagination from Goya through the Gothic writers of the 19th century, has found new life in the work of photographer Gregory Crewdson.
		His evocations of the eerie, introduced to many Americans through last year's ad campaign for the HBO series Six Feet Under, are now part of a show at the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, Massachusetts.
		Crewdson agrees that his arresting images are situated very much in a "psychological domain." He's no stranger to the couch himself--his father was a psychoanalyst working from a home office in Brooklyn, N.Y. "In the basement there were conversations that I didn't have access to, that were secret," Crewdson says.

		The photograph above, "Untitled (Ophelia)", is from Crewdson's Twilight series and is in fact the cover of his monograph of the same name -- you can see it and four others over at artnet.
