The Ephemeral Labyrinth

The Ephemeral Labyrinth Project was put together by a wonderful friend of mine for the 1999 Burning Man.   The project was both an Art Exhibit and a tool for participants.   The Labyrinth created a space where people could mindfully explore and interact with others who ventured to journey into the labyrinth.   The nature of the contact between these fellow explorers was one very pleasant surprise for me.   From humoruous, high-pitched "Hellos" to the soft touch of anothers hand, the contacts were varied and an intrinsic part of the journey.  (Please click on the pictures to see a larger version)
