Enchanted by the worlds of sequins and makeup, performers and trapeze artists; Wednesday Aja’s work reveals the magic that transforms for a song – or a circus season – inviting the viewer to come along and get lost. Fine art photography with a documentary edge; unveiling themes of custom, costume, community, identity... and things that go bump (and grind!) in the night.
