Read More

On the occasion of the Fernand Leger exhibition at Bozar (Brussels), the Half Circus is a temporary pavilion built in front of the entrance of the museum. Half Circus is a room to host circus events, conceived as a single semicircular textile object with a sloping roof, which recalls the circus imagery. Made of dark metal structure, white fabric and colored lights, the project pays tribute to the circus period of Fernand Leger.
