A maze grows in London
“aMAZEme,” an installation comprising 250,000 books, was created by artists Marcos Saboya and Gualter Pupo for the London 2012 Festival, a series of performances and cultural events held during the Summer Olympics. It is being exhibited in London’s Southbank Centre.

In a statement accompanying “aMAZEme,” Brazilian artist and installation co-creator Marcos Saboya describes the exhibit as a “labyrinth of fake entrances, exits that exit, straight curves, straight lines, overturned abysses, brittle sand stones, blunt edges, filled holes, evident secret pathways, compressed stars, wide valleys, unbridgeable straits, blinding thick rain, longitudinal sea currents, invisible avalanches, still winds, inaudible requests, mislaid sentences, in a dark pyramid, as tall as a chasm, as deep as the sky, without echoes, smooth at touch, worn out by weary fingers, which point to the nothing, which is near, and has always been.” Sayboya and fellow Brazilian artist Gualter Pupo used 250,000 books to create the maze, which will be on display until August 25, 2012.
