It was shown that the Lie algebra underlying higher-spin holography admits a contraction including a Poincar\'e subalgebra in any space-time dimensions. The associated curvatures, however, do not reproduce upon linearisation those that are usually employed to formulate the equations of motion of free massless particles in Minkowski space. We show that, despite this mismatch, the new linearised curvatures can also be used to describe massless higher-spin fields. This suggests a new way to build interacting higher-spin gauge theories in Minkowski space that may admit a holographic description.
