Gregory Crewdson, whose stylized, surrealist stills have become contemporary classics, photographs memories of things that never happened. His latest exhibit, which opens on May 4 at White Cube's Mason's Yard space in London, is a series of shots of a snowy, sleepy Massachusetts town. As usual, the images are rife with uneasy subtexts and unresolved issues: The otherworldly glow from a TV set, a glimmer of light on a patch of muddy snow, and the reason why a man is pushing a shopping cart up a dreary road remain unexplained. In this new snowbound setting, these pivotal moments remain forever frozen in their strangeness.
