Art: Larry Sultan

Larry Sultan follows such art photographers as Jeff Burton and Ken Probst into Porn Valley to record what's going on behind the scenes and on the sidelines; what emerges from his journey is a more serene and melancholy vision of the adult industry than what you're used to seeing when you pop a tape in your VCR.
