Labyrinths and Mazes by Jurgen Hohmuth

Labyrinths and Mazes by Jurgen Hohmuth

These aerial shots of ancient and modern labyrinths and mazes aim to offer a new perspective of an age-old phenomenon and an opportunity to better understand its meaning. Allegories for life's uncertainty, they are ancient symbols that echo our own spiritual quests, transformations and yearnings to find the right path. Jurgen Hohmuth used a custom-made camera attached to a miniature dirigible to photograph the labyrinths and mazes. The resulting low-altitude aerial photographs capture in detail the designs, textures and settings that make each structure unique. These gems of architectural landscaping take all forms and sizes - mosaics, cornstalks,sunflowers, stones, even beer crates- laden with history, some date back to the Bronze Age, grace the floors of medieval cathedrals and spring up from the lawns of country estates. Modern incarnations are found in amusement parks, farmer's fields and traffic circles. Lending depth to Hohmuth's photographs are essays from experts in the field including Adrian Fisher, the world's foremost designer in labyrinths and mazes.
