Nollywood

Pieter Hugo at galleria e x t r a s p a z i o

Pieter Hugo exhibits his Nollywood series an exploration of the third largest film industry in the world, which releases onto the home video market approximately 1000 movies each year. Hugo’s vision of Nollywood’s interpretation of the world results in a gallery of hallucinatory and unsettling images.

The series depict situations clearly surreal but that could be real on a set. In his images the boundaries between documentary and fiction become very fluid.
