SPAZIO LEONARDO, MILAN, 2021,
CURATED BY UNA GALLERIA, PIACENZA.
A pathway to be lived and traversed, a labyrinth without walls where the gaze of another becomes a mirror of the self. Il Labirinto Invisibile/ Invisible Labyrinth transformed Spazio Leonardo into an experience to be explored for three months, inviting visitors and the Agency’s team to walk through it in a game of losing themselves, blending with others, and finding themselves again.
The installation and video choreography draw from the ancient tradition of labyrinths: pathways that lead unambiguously toward a centre, inviting one to let go of the destination and return to the present — symbols of inner journey and discovery.
The installation’s design echoes the classical forms of the Roman labyrinth, introducing a second pathway that intertwines with the first, starting from an opposite entrance.
As in a mirror labyrinth from which the walls have been removed, individuals find themselves reflected in one another: through the winding paths and the reciprocity of the gaze, identity gradually transforms into collectivity.
