Location: Batumi City Beach
Collaborative project by To You Studio and Maria Kutuzova
The project was carried out in the first months of emigration as a way to enter the urban environment and engage with an unfamiliar context.
Over the course of a day, participants created a labyrinth from stones and sand with a diameter of approximately 15 meters.
The structure of the labyrinth allowed exploration of themes such as movement, limitation, and choice. It was seen as a diagram reflecting experiences of disorientation, rerouting, and the search for a way out.
The work took place in an open public space and involved interaction with passersby. Throughout the day, musical performances, a tea ceremony, and artistic interventions were held.
Bonfire
Temporary installation
Materials: logs, brushwood, fabric
The installation was created as the central element of the performative practice Labyrinth and was placed at its center. The structure was assembled on-site and retains qualities of instability and impermanence.
The object refers to fire as an element of focus and potential action. Here, the fire is not lit but marked as part of the structure—a point of gathering, pause, or transition.
The installation functions as part of the overall spatial layout, not standing out as a goal, but forming an internal focal point within the route.
