LARRY SULTAN: KATHERINE AVENUE

This book brings together three of Larry Sultan's best known series:"Pictures from Home", "The Valley" and "Homeland". Made principally in theSan Fernando Valley, where the artist grew up, in these works Larry Sultanexplored the domestic landscape of his childhood and adolescence byphotographing and re-presenting photographs of his parents, their home, andtheir experience of the American Dream. Wandering further behind thisCalifornian fabric, he photographed in suburban homes serving as sets inthe pornographic industry. His work culminated in a series of tableau ofLatino day labourers undertaking prosaic tasks on the peripheries of thesesuburban sites - the kind of places where, growing up, he would find hisown sense of space and freedom.
