symposium CHILDREN'S LABYRINTH 2010 - artists

MARC WALTER - CANADA

PROPOSAL

Marc Walter proposed an installation that would have two components:
• a large chamber
• one or several tall sculptures in the centre of that chamber
The size and proportions of the chamber would be dictated by the spaces available in the Labyrinth as well as by his feelings while discovering the site.

The artist left his process open enough for other ideas to emerge from his first walks within the Labyrinth.

ON SITE

The Retreat

Marc Walter walked the paths of the labyrinth several times before choosing his location. He was attracted by a few deciduous trees surrounded by several pine trees and decided to extract a space from there. Marc worked first on designing the walls with willow trees, defining the limits of his interventions.
He discovered that it was the constant change of light in the tight path which fascinated him.

He therefore decided to close the ceiling of most of the area, bringing shadow into it. He then gave most of his attention to the corner with the deciduous trees, creating one tower with a little door as the only access. Only that tower remains open to the sky. Wool was added on the inside of the tower. More light, different texture, high surroundings, all elements to get the visitor to feel surprised and protected. The visitor, young or old, will have to look in all corners and experience the space, nature and light with a new angle.
