Circus


Circus

The world of circus becomes a motive for a series of black and white photos, which try to convey the atmosphere of a popular form of entertainment, which is disappearing little by little. Clowns and acrobats, animals and tamers, jugglers, shiny clothes and colourful costumes, the glow of the scene, the semi light of backstage, along with, white and black, joy and sorrow, reality and dream, coexist, mix in an inseparable way, twirl around. Therefore, the circus, bearing childhood memories, images from the cinematic world and sounds from wonderful pieces of music, turns into a magical world!

“At the circus, men and women, with smiles and kisses, perform a program of extraordinary acts, the archetype of which is “salto mortale”, the death jump. Since, in there, everybody plays with death”
