Amusement parks have long been fodder for horror films: fun
houses quickly show their sinister sides when jovial clowns
become psychotic slashers. Although these transformations are
nightmarish, they aren't always as interesting as what can
happen when the sun sets on IRL theme parks. I documented
Paris' Foire du Trone -- a park that draws an ethnically and
economically diverse crowd from across the city -- in my series
Never Never Land. As night falls, the space transforms from
relatively tame playground to full on Spring Breakers. The
fantasyland becomes a complex suspension of reality, where
violence and machismo aggression become illuminated against
neon flashes.
