Larry Clark On 'What Do You Do For Fun?'

Larry Clark talks about 'What Do You Do For Fun?', interview by John-Paul Pryor.

"The influence of the photographer and filmmaker Larry Clark on the generation of image-makers that came after him is almost impossible to quantify. In publishing the seminal photographic work Tulsa in 1971, he shone a profound light on the underbelly of America, documenting the suburban drug habits and sex lives of his amphetamine and heroin-addicted friends. He displayed a taste for shooting the kind of subjects that had hitherto been considered entirely taboo, and it's safe to say that without the pioneering work of Clark there would never have been a Nan Goldin, Dash Snow or Ryan McGinley."
