Freedom, adventure, romance; a spellbound audience, bright-eyed
children, rolling drums, a brass band playing lively music;
intrepid acrobats in colourful costumes and garishly made-up
clowns. The same old stereotypes about the world of the circus are
trotted out on many occasions. Over a period spanning more than 15
years, the photographer Oliver Stegmann visited different circuses
to take photos of what happens behind the curtains. His muted
images attempt to break the usual stereotypes. Again and again, the
photographer captured protagonists in moments of unawareness,
showing scenes that the audience would normally never get to see
from the edge of the ring. Above all, Stegmann is interested in the
atmosphere of tense expectation and utmost concentration when the
artists are about to perform their hair-raising acts. Using neither
colour nor flash, he creates an enigmatic atmosphere reminiscent of
expressionist films. For his circus series, Stegmann develops a
kind of imagery that has rarely been applied to the small world of
the circus as consistently and confidently as in this case. In
terms of subject-matter, design, and production, Circus Noir takes
a different approach to this genre by adding an entirely unromantic
perspective that focuses on the true essence of what it means to
work in a circus. Text in English and German.
