These are some visual references for developing the maze idea.
At the moment I am thinking about the importance of how the 'viewer' would enter the maze. This is a very important aspect as it illustrates the moment of invading and crossing the boundary. The question is the following: Should the object or the invader be submissive? How could you create submission or dominance?
If the invader feels superior (maybe by being taller than the installation) one could give the invader a feeling of dominance.
If the invader has to kneel in order to invade the object, the object could take over the dominant part.
Furthermore, I think an installation made out of sheets hanging from the roof would work quite well as it corresponds to the layering process of tomography.
The Holocaust monument in Berlin is a good example of that. I don't know if you have been there, but from my experience I know that the Holocaust monument deals with these power dynamics, mentioned before.
When you enter the site, the cubes are very low and you feel superior as you can oversee the whole monument. Stepping further into the monument the single cubes are getting taller and you find yourself surrounded by huge grey cold walls which disorientate you and give you a feeling of losing control.
This change of 'power' within an installation or space is an aspect we should consider.
