<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Fischer Family of Circus Artists: A Photographic Long-term Observation. For more than a decade, the photographer Petra Arnold has shadowed the Zirkus Starlight troupe and the Fischers, a family of performers, taking analog photographs, mostly black-and-white, of their life behind the scenes. When she began the project, the Fischers were a large family, with thirty grandchildren. Over time, the company has had to downsize--the business environment is difficult, and few people can make a living as circus artists these days. Arnold's photographs peek behind the curtain for a study of an existence between circus family and family circus--mostly outside the limelight. The portraits and unstaged scenes are documents of contemporary history and draw attention to the steady decline of circus culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Petra Arnold</b> is a photographer and lives in Germany.
