I shot this story in West Hollywood, the neighborhood where a lot of celebrities live. One day I walked into a book store on Hollywood Boulevard and saw an album dedicated to the work of Kenneth Anger (the American movie director). I bought it and started talking to the owner of the store who told me that he knows Mr. Anger very well and that he visited the store often because he lives on the same block. He kindly wrote down the address of Mr. Anger's house which I visited the same day. Being inspired by such luck I bought Kenneth Anger's book "Hollywood Babylon" about all the darkest stories from the beginning of the Dream City's golden age. I was reading this book during my stay in LA and it completed my vision of the city with its hypocritical base, where the luxurious appearance can hide a true depression of meaningless existence. The result was two model tests for the Los Angeles agency Photogenics ( http://www.Photogenicsmedia.com/ ) This is how I felt myself in this city - bored and lost.
