Welcome to the Circus by KireevArt

About this series

"Welcome to the Circus" — my genesis collection created 14 years ago. This is an early author's body of works (exhibition series), about Belarusian circus of those years. These are authentic works of performance artists at the very beginning of my journey into photography (2008).

The works were created by a large team that I led and supervised. They were made in order to organize a photo exhibition of the scale never before seen in the country. It was canceled at the last moment due to a disruption in funding and venue. But, a few years later, it was still exhibited in Lithuania in a simplified form.

When these photographs were taken, only the very first decent quality digital cameras appeared in the region. This time period had a significant impact on subsequent formation of artist unique stylization. Later this became the basis for creation of main author's collection

"My Wonderland".
