Publisher Note
Die perfekte Kindheit is the German version of The Perfect Child by Larry Clark. This is one of the most notorious of photobooks, which was banned for a few years in America. The book includes photographs from “Tulsa” and “Teenage Lust” as well as previously unpublished photographs.
Larry Clark in known for both his raw, unfiltered depictions of youth culture: his contentious photographs and his controversial films focus on teen sexuality, violence, and drug use. This is the first comprehensive study of Larry Clark's work and tells his life story through a mixture of pictures and text, highlighting the rawness, vulnerability, and uncertainty of adolescence, a key strain that runs throughout his work.
“I am a storyteller. I've never been interested in just taking the single image and moving on. I always like to stay with the people I'm photographing for long periods of time.”
- Larry Clark
