[no title] Possibly 1977 - 2006

Curator: This untitled piece is by Larry Sultan, acquired by the Tate. The dimensions of the image are roughly 190 by 242 millimeters. Editor: The overall effect is stark; a field of triangular signs creating an unsettling landscape. The black and white enhances the ominous atmosphere. Curator: Considering Sultan's broader work, this piece likely reflects his interest in the constructed nature of reality, particularly within the context of American suburban life. Editor: Do you think these are simply discarded markers? Their presence within the environment speaks to the industrial processes reshaping the landscape and perhaps speaks to class tensions? Curator: Precisely, or maybe remnants from a construction site? I am curious about the material properties of those triangular forms and the texture of those wooden posts. Editor: Indeed, it is a strong image of societal markings on the land. Curator: Well, it makes you think about what is hidden and revealed by simple materials.
