Swedish-born photographer Bertil Nilsson has been working on his project for five years in different parts of Europe and North America: the photo book Undisclosed: The Image of a Modern Circus Performer. As part of the project, Bertil had the opportunity to work with 47 circus artists, including masters of their craft famous in this field.

The selection features a dozen works from Bertil Nilsson's book. These photos are not distinguished by lightness and joyful mood. The subjects of the shooting froze in the frame in tension, like a compressed spring.
