Circus & Play
For over a century the circus was a thriving force that would travel the world and test one's sense of reality. They brought the new, the groundbreaking, the unusual and the magnificent to all reaches of culture and society. Before television and the internet the circus was one of the only mechanisms people had to challenge ideas and expand what was known to be possible. One hundred years later, I am left wondering, “What is the circus today?” Is there a field or entity that has filled the void or are we experiencing a constant circus through media, internet and social networking? If this is our circus, is anybody curating or are we looking through a lens without filters?
