Patient Labyrinth, a new artwork and exhibition by Junk Ensemble in Rua Red Galleries, is both a maze and a labyrinth - exploring the delicate boundary between two worlds: the one in which we lose our way, and the one we try to find our way out of.

The exhibition weaves together myth, folk magic, and ritual to explore how we navigate uncertainty, entrapment, and transformation. As our constructed and natural world unravels to near collapse, we rely on storytelling as a tool for connection, a tool for protection. The labyrinth is a mirror, a code, a key, a tensabarrier, a narrative and a fabrication, a reflection of ourselves and our worlds.

Drawing from the Greek myth of Ariadne’s thread and Mincéirí / Traveller folklore, the exhibition unfolds as a labyrinth within a labyrinth where the five elements mark the thresholds - each an echo, a path, a memory, a reminder.
