Immerse yourself in the wonders of nature’s universal rule with the the Labyrinth installation @Enlighten Festival.
Labyrinth is a modular colourful “Art-chitecture” and a temporary playground for audiences to explore. The labyrinthine form is driven by an exploration of the golden ratio and its connection to the Fibonacci sequence, which is one of the most famous formulas in mathematics and commonly referred to as nature’s universal rule. It is said to govern the dimensions of everything from the Great Pyramids of Giza to the iconic seashell.
Through the formula, mathematicians can calculate what is called the golden spiral, or a logarithmic spiral whose growth factor equals the golden ratio. The golden ratio can be seen in nature in the patterns on a pinecone, or through the spiral arrangement of leaves or petals on some plants, and even in the seeds of a sunflower. Labyrinth is a modular artwork that creates a colourful and immersive habitat for audiences to explore. It is colourful yet translucent, creating a tapestry of contrasting, and layered hues.
Atelier Sisu is an award-winning Sydney-based art practice, lead by Peruvian sculptor and industrial designer Renzo B. Larriviere and spatial architect and artist Zara Pasfield. The pair work with a multi-disciplinary team to create experiential environments, installations and unique sculptural pieces. Their direction of work sits between the fields of art and architecture (Art-chitecture), with particular focus in the realm of public art. Each public artwork aims to provide a unique spatial experience for its visitors, while also contributing to the visual identity of a place and promoting community interaction. Atelier Sisu has exhibited their work globally and domestically.
