Sirkus Islands
Sirkus Islands is a portrait of the first and only circus in Iceland. Imbedded in islands scenery, the series combines mysterious portraits of the artists with pictures of the work in the arena as well as the daily routine backstage. Somewhere between social reportage and staged photography, the pictures tell a story of preserving such an old tradition and its position and meaning nowadays.
