The installation is four meters high, with metal mesh curtains hanging in circular paths from a structural frame. The curtains form a glossy surface that filters the sun and creates a sense of twilight. Depending on the height of a section, different floorplans will present themselves, offering different ways through the labyrinth. The maze is a microcosm of the city, where people meet or separate. In recent years, strangers have increasingly met and became acquainted online. Nowadays people are looking for ways to return to real life and re-recognize themselves in this metaphorical city.
