Background information
"The work of Californian photographer Larry SULTAN (1946-2009) has become known as one of the central oeuvres of post-conceptual photography. Since 1972, he and Los Angeles-based photographer Mike MANDEL have collaborated on numerous projects, including the controversial photo-essay 'Evidence'. This series consists of revealing images plucked from government and corporate archives, such as police and fire departments, aerospace and engineering firms. Later on, in 2004, Larry SULTAN published his provocative series 'The Valley', an exposé of the adult film industry, in which the artist focused on the suburban neighborhoods and middle-class family homes that serve as pornographic sets.
