Labyrinth




May 2005 MIT campus, an art installation. The ends of the lucite poles glowed, and low, oceanic noises burbled from below, the wood gave, the rain fell. I walked around it, over and over, enchanted.

Inspired by Lucy's journey through the Chartes labyrinth.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing it. I am a fan of this kind of multisensory art that you can walk into and explore ....

Looks like as daunting a maze as the actual labyrinth (which was just a spiral, right?).

One glance at the photo and I immediately felt a sense that this was a place I would have enjoyed spending time being absorbed in it, and just being.

The quality of light adds to it too.

How wonderful, thanks so much for such a personal response! I'd love to walk in this one too, I had an odd feeling about the invisible walls of the Chartres one - it was two dimensional but I was aware the black marble lines were projecting vertical lines of prohibition. Only you had to step into them sometiems to let other people pass...
