- Description
- In a photographic essay accomplished between 2008 and 2009, South African photographer Pieter Hugo depicts ambiguous images of “supernatural” characters in Nigeria’s Nollywood.1 The majority of these photographs were taken in Enugu. Hugo’s Nollywood (2008/2009) has been exhibited widely in South Africa and in European, Australian, and American cities such as Rome, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Terragona, New York, Los Angeles, Sydney, and Adelaide as well as Auckland, New Zealand. Each portrait illustrates the grotesque in Nollywood.
