LABYRINTHS

(Labyrinthes)
De Jadran Sturm, 1989. Stockholm, Suède.
Installation avec 12 peintures à l’huile sur du papier.

Après avoir travaillé longtemps sur la série Pyramids, ces peintures ont été créées intuitivement en un jour sur un rouleau continu de papier brun. Chaque labyrinthe a été découpé grossièrement une fois fini, avant de commencer la peinture suivante. Elles ont été accrochées sur un mur, près de l’installation Pyramids, pour créer un dialogue entre ces deux œuvres. Pendant cette période, Jadran a aussi écrit plusieurs textes en Suédois, liés à ses pyramides et labyrinthes. Chaque texte a une composition visuelle propre marquant des rythmes et des pauses. Ci-dessous on peut en lire une traduction et avoir une idée de sa manière d’écrire.
