Labyrinth is a modular colourful Art-chitecture and a temporary playground. The labyrinthine form is driven by an exploration of the golden ratio and its connection to the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is one of the most famous formulas in mathematics. It is commonly referred to as “nature’s universal rule.” It is said to govern the dimensions of everything from the Great Pyramid of Giza to the iconic seashell.
Through the formula, mathematicians can calculate what’s called the golden spiral, or a logarithmic spiral whose growth factor equals the golden ratio. The golden ratio can be seen in the nature, through the spiral arrangement of leaves or petals on some plants. Pinecones exhibit a golden spiral, as do the seeds in a sunflower. Each module of Labyrinth can be positioned into different configurations to create a colourful and immersive habitat for the audiences to explore. It is colourful yet translucent, washing its colourful patterns on the ground during the day. The surface of Labyrinth is composed of different translucent coloured PVC fabric creating a tapestry of contrasting, and layered hues. This use of vibrant colours is in line with Atelier Sisu’s current exploration of the blending colour and light and the different ways in which it can interact with the immediate environment around the artwork. The modular nature of the piece allows it to be highly adaptable to its immediate site and environment.
