Gregory Crewdson's 'Eveningside' Debuts at Gallerie d'Italia in Turin

Gregory Crewdson, a leading figure in staged photography, presents his series 'Eveningside' at Gallerie d'Italia in Turin, marking the world premiere of the final chapter of a trilogy spanning a decade. The exhibition, commissioned in part by Intesa Sanpaolo, includes works from 'Cathedral of the Pines' (2012-14), 'An Eclipse of Moths' (2018-19), and 'Eveningside' (2020-22), as well as earlier pieces like 'Fireflies' (1996). Crewdson's cinematic approach, involving a crew and elaborate sets, creates suspenseful scenes set in anonymous rural and suburban America, evoking David Lynch's atmospheres. The series 'Cathedral of the Pines' was inspired by a road in Becket, Massachusetts, where Crewdson lived in a deconsecrated Methodist church after his divorce, exploring themes of human connection and separation. 'An Eclipse of Moths' focuses on the decaying industrial town of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, using moths attracted to electric lights as a metaphor for America's disillusionment. 'Eveningside' shifts to a refined black-and-white palette, examining suspended moments in daily life through compositions of light, shadow, and special effects like rain and fog. The exhibition also features a multimedia room screening 'Making Eveningside' with original music by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and Stuart Bogie. Additionally, Intesa Sanpaolo presents the #INSIDE program of talks and events at Gallerie d'Italia until January 18, 2023.
