Inspired by the Justice & Police Museum’s City of Shadows exhibition in 2006, Stambouliah has created a world in which celebrities from the 21st century pose as 1920’s criminals. These gritty tableaux form a striking contrast to the polished paparazzi shots associated with celebrity.

Stambouliah’s project has attracted the cream of Australian stage and screen. Each actor happily submitted themselves to the interrogations of Stambouliah’s lens.
