Sharon Wild (from The Valley series)
Larry Sultan's *Sharon Wild* is a photograph from his seminal series *The Valley*, in which Sultan documented the domestic interiors and outdoor spaces of suburban San Fernando Valley homes that doubled as sets for the adult film industry. The image captures the surreal collision of the mundane and the erotic, highlighting the banal ordinariness of everyday American life — sunlit rooms, familiar furniture, manicured backyards — juxtaposed with the performers who inhabit these spaces between takes. Sultan's work probes themes of fantasy, labor, and the constructed nature of both domesticity and desire.
