With Twilight, a series of forty elaborately staged photographs taken between 1998 and 2002, Gregory Crewdson arrived at the epic, cinematic approach that has come to define his instantly recognizable imagery.

Twilight explores liminal moments in small-town America. Everyday settings become uncanny as night falls and strange details emerge. Intentionally ambiguous, each photograph resembles the climactic still of a film noir while simultaneously eluding any fixed plot, place, or character.

“I am revisiting this picture on the 25th anniversary of Twilight because, as my first street scene of this kind, it has become very important in my iconography and visual language. Its significance within the context of my larger body of work is striking in retrospect.”
