Pieter Hugo's series Nollywood portrays archetypal characters from the third-largest film industry in the world, "Nollywood" in Nigeria. Nollywood films, with narratives rooted in local symbolic imagery, lean toward the macabre and melodramatic and are an example of self-representation in African culture. Using local actors to recreate scenes and characters inspired by the films, the artist produces intense portraits on the border between documentary and fiction.
