9780679454533: Fast Forward: Growing Up in the Shadow of Hollywood

Synopsis

Photographer Lauren Greenfield capures often shocking, always startling images of children at school, at play, or at home in the precocious city of Los Angeles. The stunning color photographs range from the children of the gang culture of South Central and East L.A. to the affluent, often show-business world of the Westside. Underlying is the overwhelming importance of image and celebrity, with its materialistic trappings of fast cars and expensive clothes. 80 full-color photos.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Greenfield, Lauren [photos] (illustrator). 1st Edition. FAST FORWARD: GROWING UP IN THE SHADOW OF HOLLYWOOD, written and photographed by Lauren Greenfield, edited with Leah Painter Roberts, Introduction by Carrie Fisher, Afterword by Richard Rodriguez, hardcover with unclipped dust jacket, price not printed), stated first edition, 79 color photographs, 1997. BOOK CONDITION: fine. The text block and illustrations are in fine condition, with no tears, dog ears, or marks. No signature or bookplate of prior owner. Not a library book or a remainder. The glossy illustrated boards are in fine condition. The dust jacket is in fine condition. 9 ¾ x 11, 128 pages, 35 ounces [From the dust jacket flaps] The best sociological work I have seen in twenty years (Tom Kennedy, Director of Photography, National Geographic). A jolting and terrifying journey into the cult of appearances (Michel Guerrin, Le Monde). FAST FORWARD: GROWING UP IN THE SHADOW OF HOLLYWOOD is a powerful testimony to the ways in which Hollywood values are reflected in the everyday lives and rituals of the youth of Los Angeles. In seventy-nine unforgettable full-color photographs accompanied by poignant and unsettling interviews with children and their parents, the award-winning photographer Lauren Greenfield reveals the realities of growing up too fast in a culture that is, at once, irresistible and unforgiving. From the affluent children of the Westside to the graffiti gangs and party crews of East L.A., the Los Angeles young are obsessed by the seductive lifestyle of the entertainment industry, with its emphasis on celebrity, looks, money, and things. Greenfield's pictures and text chronicle vastly disparate yet eerily similar child societies: an eight-year-old recording his own rap music in his father's home recording studio, a gay teenager experimenting with drag at the Hollywood High School for the Performing Arts, a Latino tagger seeking recognition and respect by spray-painting the name of his crew on the city's walls and buses. L.A.'s children are indoctrinated early into the cult of image: Greenfield documents a competition for aspiring models, a teen recovering from a nose job, and a thirteen-year-old working out with her personal trainer. Copying their inner-city peers, rich Beverly Hills kids hang in crews and talk like gangsters; the poor and the affluent sport pagers and hip-hop fashion, step out at lavish proms, cruise in stoked-up cars. Through Greenfield's compassionate and incisive lens, we become witness to an arresting vision of our children and our society. XX Lauren Greenfield grew up in L.A. and graduated from Harvard in 1987. Her photographs have been published in The New York Times Magazine, Time, Life, National Geographic, Stern, Geo, the London Sunday Times Magazine, and other periodicals here and abroad. Greenfield received the first photographic documentary grant sponsored by National Geographic, for a project about Los Angeles youth. The resulting work is collected here. It received the Community Awareness Award from the National Press Photographers' Pictures of the Year competition and the 1997 International Center of Photography Infinity Award for Young Photographers.
