The circus of life - Salto Mortale

Some weeks ago I was at a circus in Indaial (SC), Brasil. I shot some pictures of the two female aerial acrobats. The first one worked with an aerial hoop and the other one hung on her own hair. Yes, this is really crazy.

I made some sandwich photomontage of several pictures.

Image 1 version 2 consists of 9 pictures:

Pimp my frame.

For one of the pictures of the "Controle de sistema" triptych I tried to build a frame, but the first one became completely askew and the second became too large.

But what to do with the two unused frames?
Pimp it!

The first frame I personalized with 35mm negative stripes:




with the photo montage "santa catarina 2010", brasil, 2010 from the "1 camera + 19lenses = 19pictures" project:

The second frame I'll use for my next project, which is about themes like death, war, misery, pain, destruction etc.:
