Abstract: Given a hyperplane arrangement $ \mathcal{A}$ in a real vector space $ V$, we introduce a real algebraic prevariety $ \mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})$, and exhibit the complement of $ \mathcal{A}$ in the complexification of $ V$ as the total space of an affine bundle over $ \mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{A})$ with fibers modeled on the dual vector space $ V^{\vee}$.
