Gregory Crewdson, interview with Melissa Harris ( www.aperture.org/crewdson )

Credwson:

So whoever the photographer is, that's a constant, because it's who they are. It's their history. It's their trauma, it's their desire, it's their fascination, it's their terror - all that. So you have that story, that compulsion, and then you have the pictorial form., which is the attempt to take that invisible story and represent it in pictorial form. So it's that coming - together of form and content, essentially. Then that changes, because you continue to try to reinvent the form to accommodate the story as much as possible. Of course, in the end it's impossible to fully achieve the form , because the story is murky and undefined. So you try it over and over again, and you are hoping by the next picture you'll get it - and that keeps you going. It's like this unsolvable equation.
