Celebrated American photographer Gregory Crewdson will soon find a home (or at least his images will) at the IMA. Three series of the talent’s dramatic works will be on display – including Beneath the Roses, Sanctuary and Fireflies. Each of these large colour photographs forage into Gregory’s interest in human alienation, intertwined with his love of Edward Hopper paintings and the films of iconic director David Lynch. The cinematic images depict homes, streets and woods from a range of unidentified small American towns, as well as scenes from around Rome’s Cinecitta film studios and his family’s cabins in the woods. Though vastly different in setting, Gregory’s photographs remain emotionally charged and somewhat haunting in their depiction of isolation. In a Lonely Place will run March 16 to May 25.
