Rydell High School (1958), 2008

A closer look at the images shows us contemporary details and that the school actually is called Venice High School, located in Los Angeles. The series »Rydell High School (1958)« dissolves the borderlines of reality and fiction, the past and the present, as most of the things in Hollywood.
