A stark and psychologically charged publication, this catalogue accompanies Larry Clark’s 1999 exhibition at the Groninger Museum, marking a significant shift in his practice beyond earlier works such as Tulsa and Teenage Lust.
Published in 1999 by the museum, the book departs from Clark’s direct engagement with youth subcultures to present 193 stills extracted from video footage of the Menendez brothers trial. Removed from their original audiovisual context, these images isolate fleeting expressions capturing moments of tension, vulnerability, and emotional strain.
Stripped of sound and narrative framing, the photographs emphasize psychological presence over storytelling. Clark’s characteristic intensity remains, yet here it is distilled into a quieter, more unsettling register one that confronts the viewer with the fragility and opacity of adolescence under extreme circumstances.
Elegantly bound in a black leatherette hardcover, the publication reinforces its conceptual weight through a restrained and austere presentation. The work resonates with themes explored in later projects, including The Perfect Childhood, while extending Clark’s inquiry into youth, trauma, and representation.
Issued in a limited edition of 6,000 copies, this first edition stands as a highly collectible and intellectually significant volume within contemporary photography.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
