For decades, the photographer Gregory Crewdson created highly produced, detailed, and boldly cinematic photographs that appear to be moments out of an epic movie. This work, from his series Sanctuary, continues his exploration of the cinematic. Shot on location at the legendary Cinecittà studios on the outskirts of Rome at dawn and dusk, Crewdson depicts the abandoned outdoor film sets. Crewdson notes, “In these pictures I draw upon the inherent quietness and uncanny aspects of the empty sets. As with much of my work, I looked at the blurred lines between reality and fiction, nature and artifice, and beauty and decay.”
