In her sympathetic pictures of contortionists, dwarves, ballroom dancers and wrestlers from small towns in Israel, Ukraine, Eastern Europe and England, Michal Chelbin offers a glimpse into worlds both strange and familiar. Her subjects tend to be portrayed offstage, at home or on the street or in a park, and in a disarmingly direct engagement with the viewer.
