Barenzirkus is a found footage video re-presentation of an super8 film depicting a Russian bear circus in the 1960s. The soundtrack was composed by the artist before he had seen the film, as an idea of what he hoped the film would be like. The video is the first time the artist ever saw the film.
Barenzirkus has been screened to acclaim worldwide and was released as part of a best of British video art DVD by the UK Arts Council.
