Invisible Labyrinth, by choreographer Riccardo Buscarini and visual artist Francesca Lando of Immuto, transforms the space of Spazio Leonardo Milano in a path to be explored.
How have the recent restrictions and social distancing affected our personal interactions and how are we adapting to these changes? Which new reflections are needed in regards to our sociality? How can we rethink the experience of art and in which spaces, modalities and contexts?
Invisible Labyrinth is an installation seemingly re-emerging from the past to be explored again and to offer a new interpretation of the challenges faced by our social relations. In the installation our desire to reconnect plays a game of entrances and exits, of closeness and distance.
The labyrinth takes an ambiguous meaning: it is a physical, social and spiritual space we could both lose and find ourselves in. Like in a mirror maze without walls, in the Invisible Labyrinth one’s reflection can be found in the other. Through meanders and the individual’s gaze, identities gradually become collectivity.
A concept originally thought for outdoor congregation spaces is extended in this occasion to the changing sociality of working spaces, between social distancing and smart working. Spazio Leonardo's visitors, clients, collaborators and employees are invited to walk inside the labyrinth, making first hand experience of its entrances, exits, possible detours and encounters.
The installation is coupled with the above video by Riccardo Buscarini in collaboration with Matteo Rapalli and Fausto Mazza, in which dancers Melania Pallini and Laura Gazzani activate the labyrinth through a choreography inspired by its forms.
