nothing is clean, orderly, idyllic, or romantic.

In his perfectly staged, hyper-realistic tableaux, photographer Gregory Crewdson (*1962) reveals the claustrophobic limbo and abyss of spiritual repression that is the typical suburb.

Here, hushed-up violence, alienation, isolation, and emptiness are nothing new or unfamiliar but part of the everyday experience next door.

Nichts ist mehr clean und geordnet, idyllisch und romantisch.

In seinen perfekt inszenierten, hyperrealistischen Tableaus enttarnt der Fotograf Gregory Crewdson (*1962 in Brooklyn) die typische Vorstadt als beklemmende Vorhölle und Ort verdrängter seelischer Abgründe.

Stille Gewalt, Entfremdung, Einsamkeit und Leere sind hier nichts Neues oder Fremdes, sondern das alltäglich Vertraute von nebenan.
