IN THE LABYRINTH

‘Parting is taking steps
out of the room
with the thread. The same thread.
The word silence inside.
Inside oneself – one?’
Threads, Chantal Maillard.

This piece is a proposal to open a place to the instant. In the labyrinth either we find ourselves, or we become forever lost.

This creative process is related to the myth of Ariadne, or The Lady of the Labyrinth, as Christine Downing calls her in ‘The Goddess. Mythological images of the feminine’, as well as to Chantal Maillard’s literature, and to Kiki Smith’s artworks.

In the labyrinth a journey that has no end, that has no beginning is drawn. She goes through it with the thread, and in doing the journey she makes her trajectory. Inside the body appears the other, ‘the animal – in – myself’, in silence, waiting.
