Photographer Emanuele Giacomini presents Circus, a long-term documentary photography project following the Psychiatric Circus, a contemporary circus company that blends theatre, physical performance and imagery associated with mental illness. Moving beyond the performances, Giacomini documents backstage moments where costumes and theatrical masks give way to the individuals beneath. The project explores identity, performance and the shifting boundary between fiction and reality, inviting viewers to reconsider perceptions of normality and difference.
