Smoke Filled Mirror

In Smoke Filled Mirror, Keiran Perry chronicles his two-year journey with a travelling circus. First encountering the performers when they were stranded in Morecambe, Lancashire during the pandemic, Perry embedded himself within their multicultural, vibrant community.

These intimate photographs blend stark textures with moments of magical wonder, exploring themes of belonging, alternative living, and human connection amidst isolation. Smoke Filled Mirror offers a rare glimpse into this nomadic family's resilience – from trapeze artists doubling as cooks and welders to the relentless work that kept the show on the road.

This captivating work invites you to rediscover the power of community in unexpected places.
