An Ingenue's Intimate Snapshots of the New Hollywood
Briefly

Candy Clark, initially indifferent to acting, emerged in Hollywood during the 1970s, capturing the essence of the New Hollywood with her role in 'American Graffiti.' Now, she presents 'Tight Heads,' a Polaroid collection featuring iconic figures such as Steven Spielberg and David Bowie. This work showcases moments from a time characterized by parties and creativity, revealing an intimate glimpse into the lives of Hollywood stars through Clark's lens, which flips the traditional male gaze on its head.
"Hollywood is a history of men looking at women through cameras. Never had the lens been turned on them by the ingenue. Under Candy's gaze, the swashbuckling icons of Hollywood legend become innocent."
"The floating party-you met everyone," Clark said, recalling the vibrant social scene of the era, where connections were made effortlessly amidst the glamour of Hollywood.
