Larry Clark, born 1943, is an American film director, photographer and writer well-known for his controversial film Kids (1995), with a screnplay by Harmony Korine, as well as his original photo book Tulsa (1971) which documents the life of Oklahoma youth. This iconic photo book captures the antics of teenage libertines between the 1950's and 1970s. A masterpiece of underground history, it excavates the sex, occaional violence and yet somehow beautiful debauchery of their lives within a specific subculture. Teenage Lust is an autobiogrpahy of Clark's teenage past as traced through the images of other faces and juxtaposes family photographs with intimate, graphic insight into young lives permeated with illicit drug use and underage sex.
