In George Bataille’s existential geometry of the Labyrinth: the individual as being struggles to delimit its singularity, as it is unable to grasp the multiplicity that determines its existence as a fragment interconnected to larger bodies. From the position of a finite body, limited in its perception and action, each individual can only represent the totality of its connections to the world through the medium of words. Words become the vehicles to express the aggregates that compose a subject beyond the visibility of its restricted space, since the extension of being is rendered invisible through our ordinary and trivial modes of perception, therefore, creating the illusion of autonomy and individuality. In this architectural intervention, the sense of alienation is highlighted by the sparse minimalism of the space like in a Beckettian drama. The walls are altered in oblique angles similarly altering the viewer’s balance to enhance the sense of proprioception. From the walls, an audio recording conveys a list of words that form and existential map, a database of nouns, places and things that strive anxiously to connect beyond the pressing limits of the enclosed space.
