Photographic exhibition "The aesthetics of the Circus"

L'estètica del circ
The Communication Library and General Newspaper Archives holds a selection of photographs of the Circus Raluy.

21/01/2019

During a year, twelve members of AFOCER (Agrupació Foto-Cine Cerdanyola- Ripollet) photographed the emblematic circus, shortly before it was split into two new projects: Historical Circus Raluy and Circus Raluy Legacy.  

Circus photos can be counted by the thousands, and most of them have been taken pursuing the considered “romantic” aspect of its people. The AFOCER project, however, wants to go further and capture in images the hardness, the work and the effort involved in the touring, the set up, the rehearsals and everything that revolves around them until the show takes place.

You can visit the exhibition on the ground floor of the library, until March.
