Parallelwelt Zirkus

The Circus as a Parallel UniverseClear the ring for the world of acrobats, clowns, and exotic animals! Presenting a number of contemporary works of art, the catalog 'The Circus as a Parallel Universe' offers an introduction into the universe of the circus and highlights a wondrous place full of knowledge of the world, surprises and sensations, a place of poetry, but also of excitement, confusion, and unease. The circus as a parallel world has become a projection surface in film and literature, but also in the fine arts.
