Sanctuary

An exhibition of latest work by Gregory Crewdson called Sanctuary is to open on 24th of November in White Cube in London.
Unlike his recent works, this project is without people. It shows 41 black and white photographs taken in Cinecittà film studios in Rome.
As it says on the Gagosian Gallery website "he has captured the palpable atmospheres of melancholy lurking at every twist and turn, cloaked in shadow or suddenly illuminated by a shaft of daylight."

Though I get the melancholy, I'm not sure these images have the same impact on me as the previous cinematic ones. They seem ordinary at a first glance. It's like you can find many similar ones on Flickr. Maybe I just need to sleep on this. See how they look tomorrow early morning.
