- Description:
- This collection is organized around core themes of pain and performance, as they are deployed across four categories common to circus "freak shows": swords and sword swallowing, needles and nails, extreme strength, and performers inflicting pain on another. In each case, the performers' ability to complete these feats inspires an awe that may override sympathy. While circus freak shows often featured performers and bodies that were visibly physically disabled, we call the subjects of this collection "overly-abled," in order to highlight their difference but still call attention to the similar ways in which they are dehumanized.
