For more than a decade Petra Arnold has shadowed the Zirkus Starlight troupe and the Fischers, a family of performers, taking analogue photographs, mostly black and white, of their life behind the scenes. When she began, the Fischers were a large family; over time the company has had to downsize in a difficult business climate where few people can make a living as circus artists. Her pictures peek behind the curtain for a study of an existence between circus family and family circus, mostly outside the limelight: portraits and unstaged scenes that document contemporary history and the steady decline of circus culture.
