Résumé :
This beautiful collection of written and photographic essays centre around the creation of, and philosophy behind, Ess Hödlmoser’s innovative solo contortion act, VACUUM.

This beautiful book explores the tenuous relationship between risk and spectacle in performing arts, the ways that perceptions of gender are performed and consumed by viewers in relation to contortion, how new apparatuses disrupt the ways we make sense of circus acts, and more. These writings are complemented by haunting, impactful images from talented Toronto photographers Denise Grant, Irem Harnak, and Paul Hillier.

Printed on super-thick paper with special binding, each double-page spread in SLOW CIRCUS opens up completely flat for a wide, uninterrupted expanse of thought-provoking strange, wondrous beauty.
