Have you ever heard of a half human half bull creature that suffered its own fate? Have you ever heard of the fall of Babylon and the majesty of its empire that crumbled like thin pieces of paper in the glow of a fire? Have you ever heard of these myths that could possibly blend?

The lines were indeed their lingua franca, one which traced an endless road, with the tumultuous ends in which the minotaur lost its way and couldn’t trace it back.

This is a key to taking a step in drawing as an installation. When the drawings become signs to guide you through, the narrating of a process that navigates in between fictional characters that will occur (show) through the layers of the acrylic brushstrokes or the thin black ink lines on old paper.

This open studio is the fruit of three-month residency of Aymen Mbarki; it is interwoven between drawings, gestures, classical music and numerous discussions around  mythology which, (in fact,) though fictional, remains accurate and current to our realities.
