Salon reviews a Larry Sultan's photography exhibit, "The Valley," which features poignant and funny shots of porn sets and actors before and after their working days.
"West Valley #11," one of Sultan's more recent photos, is an interior focused on a deluxe wood wall with a grid of square holes, one of which frames the reclining head of a woman, perhaps in the throws of thespian ecstasy. It's the golden-hued wall, however, that dominates the composition — along with the gallon jug of water (or is it a Costco bottle of lubricant?) and jumbo roll of paper towels.
