Gregory Crewdson Shoots Eerie Promo Art for Phoebe Bridgers' Smartphone-Free Tour
Gregory Crewdson, known for cinematic suburbia images, created promotional artwork for Phoebe Bridgers' upcoming 'The Lost Tour 2026'. The tour, spanning nearly two dozen U.S. dates, will be entirely smartphone-free. Crewdson, who rarely does commercial work, made an exception for the Grammy-winning singer. The image shows Bridgers in a vintage turquoise car on a small-town street at twilight, with a blue and pink sky, an old house, and a beam of light. Shot over two days in March in Adams, Massachusetts, the production involved five cranes and the fire department spraying the street for a dreamlike glow. An analog phone booth and xenon lamp reference non-digital technology. Crewdson admires Bridgers' album 'Punisher' and relates to its themes of sadness and loneliness. Fans have already gotten tattoos of the photograph.
