Brian Duggan's
piece is from a body of work by the artist that began with a
solo exhibition in the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane. The project
began as research into the Wall of Death and its heyday during the
Depression years in 1930s America. For a number of years it was felt
by the performers that this act needed extra danger, and so lions were
introduced and they also rode on the motorcycles. Elias Harris was a
well known rider from a uk circus family, who are still touring today.
