After Party shows the façades of hundreds of French and Belgian nightclubs photographed in daylight. Still in business, the clubs appear in a new light: neon and the other sulphurous attributes of the night are replaced by a more standard, less glittery reality, and they turn into neutral buildings in peri-urban or rural areas, among industrial estates and sugar-beet fields. As Cinderella returns to reality, these places of celebration, idealised by many teenagers, become empty; with humour and a hint of nostalgia, the series also pays tribute to their overdecorated designs and visual codes.
