LARRY SULTAN – HOMELAND
2025-11-10In this body of work, Sultan turns his lens to Latino day laborers positioned within the suburban landscapes of California, capturing moments suspended between movement and stillness. Drawing inspiration from the tradition of landscape painting, his images evoke order while simultaneously emphasizing ambiguity and uncertainty, revealing the latent possibilities that emerge in quiet intervals.
Sultan’s attention to overlooked spaces, fields behind strip malls, borderlands along the LA River, reflects a lifelong fascination with the places that shaped his childhood in the San Fernando Valley. By revisiting these environments, Homeland interrogates notions of suburban identity, blending the ordinary with subtle layers of anticipation and quiet reflection. The series challenges assumptions about domesticity, labor, and the landscapes we inhabit, creating images that feel both specific and universal.
