Larry Sultan

Tasha's Third Film from The Valley

Larry Sultan's *Tasha's Third Film* from his seminal series *The Valley* captures a quiet, charged moment on the set of a San Fernando Valley adult film production, shot in the spare, sunlit interiors of suburban homes. Sultan's large-scale chromogenic print renders the scene with an intimate documentary realism, blurring the line between the mundane and the performative. His unflinching yet empathetic gaze transforms the everyday domestic setting into a complex stage, inviting reflection on labor, desire, and the American landscape of aspiration.

Medium
Chromogenic print, flush-mounted.
