Die Perfekte Kindheit - Larry Clark - 1st Edition, Scalo, 1993

About the Item

First edition, published by Scalo Verlag, 1993. As a living icon of American film, director, photographer, writer and film producer Larry Clark is known for his controversial works, including the photography monographs Tulsa (1971), Teenaged Lust (1983), and his film debut, Kids (1995). Sometimes dismissed as obscene, he is a genuine auteur, focusing on the experiences of 'American Youth' through explorations of gender, sex, drugs, violence and subculture with a style whose influence has been felt ever since. 'Die perfekte Kindheit' is a thought provoking insight into male adolescent sexuality and deviancy, collating images of the nude male, often graphic, with that of mainstream media; making 1980s teen idols such as Corey Haim compete for space with rural teen satanists, whilst faded newspaper clippings report on teenage villains, set against scenes of fellatio. Deconstructing American masculinity, youth and the concept of the 'All American Boy', 'Die perfekte Kindheit' is a rare and important insight into Larry Clark and the genre he has mastered. Hardback in publisher's original dust jacket, unpaginated and illustrated copiously in colour and black and white throughout. Very scarce.
