A maze installation on imprisonment, co-produced by the 9th Sharjah Biennial. Invited by Jack Persekian, Artistic Director.

 

The installation received international critical acclaim, being hailed as "one of the sprawling exhibition's most ambitious works" (The National, UAE)

 

"this extremely claustrophobic work is a comment about prisons and enslavement” (LeMonde.Fr)

 

"this exhibit challenges people to open their eyes to everything that is happening around them" (La Folha de São Paulo, BRA)

 

"it strikes me a on a level with certain works by Alfredo Jaar in acknowledging the both the terror and aggression of political violence and in its concern for reversing roles for the observer.  At the same time, it sees threat and coercion as a fundamental experience of modern life." (Lyle Rexer, PhD, Aperture art critic, catalog essay, New York, NY)

 

"As one leaves, one is possessed. One will remember this." (Thyrza Nichols Goodeve, PhD, an Artforum critic, catalog essay, New York, NY).
