(SULTAN, LARRY). Sultan, Larry. Zurich & Geneva, SWITZERLAND: Scalo, 2004. First Edition. Oblong Folio. Cloth in Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 131pp, profusely illustrated in color. Text in English. Designed by Claas Moller at Steidl Design. The long anticipated follow-up to his 1992 "Pictures From Home", "The Valley" is photographer Larry Sultan's lush chronicling of the suburban idyll that is the San Fernando Valley - home of the American Adult Film Industry. Shot in an exquisite color palette, Sultan's eye lingers on the ironic details of these sometimes opulent, mostly quotidian dwellings that often double as sets where a leaf strewn pool or a Britannica-laden bookcase lies just out of frame from a double penetration shot. It is a really wonderful document of an unorthodox, yet contemporary workplace where the actors themselves (when pictured) look mostly every bit as bored and confined as the decors.
