Gregory Crewdson: Production Still Untitled (Oak Street #2)

Gregory Crewdson’s Production Stills series divulges behind-the-scenes elements from his pointedly theatrical yet intensely realistic panoramic series Beneath the Roses (2003–08). Revealing an exposed lighting crane or a subject caught between direction, the works offer a glimpse of the meticulous execution and scale of this body of work. The Production Stills both inform an understanding of Crewdson’s art-making process and exist as an autonomous and strikingly self-reflexive series of their own.
