Over the past three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been fleshing out a portrait of middle America, that America of picket-fence suburbia gazing wide-eyed at the glimmers of a fading dream which has long since faded and wilted. His cinematographically staged photos have gradually pieced together the fragments of a twilight world. 
This exhibition brings together works from the three series created between 2012 and 2022. Envisaged as a trilogy, they offer unique insight into a decade of creation and reveal the two central axes – intimate and political – of the universe that has posited Gregory Crewdson as one of the major figures of photography.
This trilogy reveals the major articulations of Gregory Crewdson’s art, in a fine oscillation between poetics and politics, between a man’s down-to-earth sensitivity and his piercing grasp of the backwash thudding against a world in the grip of slow brutality.
