Overview"This book brings together three of Larry Sultans best known series: ""Pictures from Home"", ""The Valley and Homeland"", all mainly made in the San Fernando Valley, California, where the artist grew up. ""Pictures from Home"" is a survey of his parents life over the course of a long period; ""The Valley"" deals with the Californian pornographic industry which operates out of the suburbs of the region; and ""Homeland"", his late series of landscapes which appear idyllic at first sight but which are fractured by the troubling presence of Mexican day-labourers. In all of his photographs Sultan is dealing with the private, political and social aspects of the American dream a dream he locates somewhere between utopia and dystopia. This publication accompanies an exhibition at the kestnergesellschaft, Hannover.
