The Fourth Wall explores the extraordinary impact of Bollywood on Indian society, where the line between cinema and reality is perpetually blurred. Pinckers turns the streets of Mumbai into a movie set, inviting passers-by to spontaneously perform roles for the camera. By weaving these staged portraits with still-lives from actual film sets and newspaper clippings, the book challenges the boundaries between fact and fiction. The production itself reflects this instability, printed on thin 45g newsprint to evoke the ephemeral nature of the media it documents.
