? Come see the smallest show on earth: María Fernanda Cardoso's Flea Circus
Maria Fernanda Cardoso creates art that explores nature and its links to culture and science. ‘For me, art is freedom, and of course, it’s informed by the natural world’, says the artist.
One of the artist’s best-known works is The Cardoso Flea Circus (1994-2000), a six-year series of performances and installations in which Cardoso trained fleas to perform tasks and surprising feats of strength.
