Larry Sultan's *Woman in Garden, Mission Hills* from his seminal series *The Valley* captures the quiet tension between suburban domesticity and the adult film industry that temporarily occupied these manicured San Fernando Valley homes. The lush chromogenic print bathes an ordinary backyard in rich, saturated color, where a woman's presence amid the carefully tended garden blurs the boundary between private life and performance. Sultan's meticulous attention to light and composition transforms an everyday setting into something both familiar and deeply unsettling.
