More information
I en intervju i Barnebys 2013 pratade Hans Gedda om sina cirkusbilder:
Du har tagit en hel svit cirkusbilder, hur kommer det sig att cirkusen fascinerar dig så?
När jag växte upp hade mina föräldrar ofta maskeradfester. Det var spännande att se hur vuxna människor förvandlades i sin utklädnad. Vi bodde i Flen som var en viktig järnvägsknut. Jag har starka minnen av när Cirkus Scott kom med tåget och lastade av sina elefanter.
