The photographs in this book focus on the peoplefrom midway artists to roustabouts, from performers and their families to the audiences who watch them each nightwho create the magic of the circus. Rogalas work presents the highs and lows of circus life with a powerful combination of documentary pragmatism and empathy that conveys daytoday details with a sense of wonder. Her rich blackandwhite images follow light and shadow (and dust) from set up to rehearsal to performance, with color photography underscoring the drama of a red tent against a clear blue sky or the flash of sequins under the spotlight. Dynamism and a spirit of collaboration are at the heart of circus life, animate Rogalas archive, and are central to scholarship at the Smithsonian. (From the introduction)Nearly two decades after Dawn Rogalas time behind the scenes at Americas circuses, Dawn Rogala donated her photography archive to the National Museum of American History. The Rogala Collection is the basis for Rogala and colleagues David Haberstich and Shannon Perich to combine in one volume their complementary expertise in photography. Rogalas essay revisits her time as a young photographer, documenting daytoday struggles and triumphs of the workers who create a world of wonder for the rest of us. Haberstich reviews the history of documentary photography with an emphasis on depictions of people and their work, placing Rogalas photographs in the context of the history of traveling societies and immigrant groups. Perich explores the changing roles and relationships between photography and the circus, both of which matured amid industrialized economy, and discusses the Rogala Collections place in a long history of circus photography.
