Johanna-Maria Fritz - 'Sirkus Íslands'
October 6 - November 29 | Reykjavík Museum of Photography I Admission: Free!
The hidden world of Iceland's first and only circus is laid bare
before your eyes. Following the Sirkus Íslands troupe for
two years, German photographer Johanna-Maria Fritz has
captured a sense of excitement, expectation and relief, both
on and off the stage. The resulting exhibition is a collection
of beautiful and sometimes surreal photos, taken with a
film camera. Johanna states: “Since there's no circus tradi-
tion here in Iceland, I wanted to explore and show the artists'
community, as well as exploring public reception.” So roll up,
roll up, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... prepare to see
the hidden world of Sirkus Íslands. SS
