FREUDIAN ANALYSIS
What I am interested in is that moment of transcendence, where one is transported into another place, into a perfect, still world.
—Gregory Crewdson
These pictures are a meditation on brokenness, a search, a longing, and a yearning for meaning and transcendence. The figures are surrounded by vast decaying industrial landscapes and the impinging nature―and there’s a certain underlying suggestion of anxiety. But I hope in the end the theme of nature persisting, and of figures seeking out light, offers hope for renewal, even redemption.
—Gregory Crewdson
He create a world outside time.
His work is narrative and there is a sense of conflict and tension in it. At first glance it looks harmonious and quiet, but on closer inspection there are many details, he hides what he wants to say in the traffic lights, in the traces of ruts in the snow, these traces of human existence fascinate me. And his perspective was unusual, like he made me look at the world from a different angle, as if I didn't live on earth, and then he introduced me to it with his photographic pictures.
I also started to look for dramatic details in my everyday life, the marks left by strangers.
