Sarah Iris Mang uses very often yarn in her performances or installations to show connections or correlations between places and people. For the exhibition temporär zu Hause in Tübingen she developed a labyrinth, with wood slats from the Börstinger forest. “Normally I use wool, but this time I wanted to utilize the material from the surroundings. When you connect pieces of wood you have finally a line.” To think outside of the box is to look further and to try thinking of the obvious things, but to try thinking (and in the labyrinth as well experiencing) of things beyond them. Labyrinths have been used for ages and have several meanings: Passage of time, symbol of coming home, spiritual growth, progress, initiation…
It is a temporarily interactive installation, and it can be meditative and meaningful or just a funny interaction. Just try it out…
