Coming to international prominence in the 1980s, American conceptual artist Barbara Kruger (born 1945) has said: “I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are and who we aren't.” Circus presents the dizzying black-and-white textual installation of the same name that Kruger developed for the rotunda of the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt in 2010.
