PROJECT DESCRIPTION
To provide a space that attracts and engages with the public I responded with an installation that allows visitors to become intrigued, fully immersive and spatially aware as they travel through it. This resulted in a labyrinth forged out of the curiosity of spatial navigation, providing visitors with the role of a navigator as they enter. The Labyrinth consists of a series of interlocking spaces creating a connected stream, thus carving out a path that is fluid and dynamic, much like a body of water. The placement of these spaces are mapped across an axis that aligns with the Southern Cross constellation, an integral reference point and early method for navigation to help explorers guide their way. The entryways are emphasised to be in line of the observer’s eye as they approach the site, to aid as gates to attract and welcome visitors into the installation. As they wander through, the surrounding walls capture their shift of movement as they walk the Labyrinth. The result is interactive yet soothing like gazing into a cool body of water as they catch subtle glimpses of their own reflection moving through space.
