Meredith Mullins: The Art of the Cirque d’Hiver

Yes, I’m still a circus addict (no intervention needed here).  And, happily, winter circus season is upon us in Paris. Multi-tasking jugglers, flying trapezers, comedic characters that pratfall when faced with the slightest obstacle, acrobats with abs of steel, and well-trained animals that perform in spaces way too small for their wild hearts--all punctuated by the pure laughter and frenzied clapping of the children (and the children-at-heart) in the audience.

 

It’s mesmerizing. And, although the circus is full of color, I like to bare its soul in black-and-white—leaving just the grace and form of the art itself.

 

Vive le cirque!
