Intermedialität im Werk von Gregory Crewdson: Ein Bildkünstler im Kontext von Malerei, Film und Fotografie
Born in 1962 in Brooklyn, photographer Gregory Crewdson stages large-format photographs with a view to the melancholic and alienated life in American suburbs. The main themes are apparently randomly captured scenes of interiors, front gardens, and street exits, in which the protagonists usually seem to be introverted. In addition to the presentation of Crewdson's complete oeuvre and the iconography of the images, the work primarily deals with and compares in detail references from the visual arts, photography, and film history. Crewdson's photographs are juxtaposed with works by Hopper, Eggleston, Wall and Sternfeld as well as films by Lynch, Spielberg and Hitchcock.
