Statement by the photographer, Mark STEINMETZ
"People from all walks of life go to the fair seeking something to transport them from the everyday. Amid the excitement and sounds of the rides and games, I could slip by largely unnoticed and cap- ture gestures and faces.” (© Mark STEINMETZ)
Content
"From 1982-2001 the American photographer Mark STEINMETZ travelled to country fairs, urban street carnivals, and small circuses across the United States, to make photographs of the families, teens and carnies that contain all the warmth and frenetic energy of a day at the Carnival."

Book review
"If you have Anders PETERSEN's photo book 'Gröna Lund' about Stockholm's 1970s fair, you'll enjoy comparing both volumes. Well, Mark STEINMETZ' 'Carnival' is slightly higher quality produced and also large format; but thematically both are on the same wavelength." (© Richard G. SPORLEDER, 2019)
