LABYRINTH

April 13, 2025

06:00 PM - 19:00 PM

Our final Muster Point installation by Jacqueline Huskisson asks you to enter a labyrinth. Labyrinths can be seen as symbols of pilgrimage, paths along which people ascend toward salvation or enlightenment. Often used for contemplation, they invite us to lose track of direction and the outside world, quieting the mind. For Muster Point 2025, Labyrinth is an immersive art installation that explores themes of place, transition, and otherness through labyrinthine mythology.

Upon entering the labyrinth, you step into a parallel world filled with neon lights, ambient sounds, and monsters. As viewers traverse the maze, elements reveal themselves to narrate a unique, abstract story. Mythologies, particularly in Western ideology, have often employed monsters as metaphors for the “other”, a label historically applied to LGBTQIA2S+, disabled individuals, women, BIPOC, and more.

The artist draws inspiration from the famous Minotaur and other labyrinthine myths to reclaim power and express themselves. The Minotaur stands as a stark reminder of our impending mortality and the inherent anxieties surrounding death, its symbolic presence echoed throughout literature and pop culture as a call to confront our primal fears and embrace our complex natures.

This exhibition invites you to reflect on your own narrative and shared experiences, using the labyrinth and its monsters to explore identity and the human condition. As you journey through this realm, ask yourself: will you be the same when you emerge?
