Hollywood Nightmares

Hollywood Nightmares is a series of self-portraits by photographer and director Raphaël Neal inspired by the aesthetic of portraits of stars from the golden age of Hollywood cinema from the 1930s to the 1950s. Staged with masterly attention to detail, these photographs are embellished with touches of gore. The characters don’t seem to mind, horror is normal – including that denounced by the #metoo wave. A text and an interview with the writer Alice Zeniter complete this disturbing book.
