- Two dancers wearing sarongs with bells on their ankles move slowly across Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. They are brushing grains of rice into patterns. They are creating a winding labyrinth-like path.
The dancers are performers in Lee Mingwei's Our Labyrinth, an artwork that brings a sense of ritual into the museum. It was inspired by Lee's experience of visiting ancient temples in Myanmar, where paths leading to temples are swept by volunteers.
In this film we meet the artist and introduce his beautiful, participatory works. Lee creates installations exploring issues such as trust, intimacy, and self-awareness. He often takes everyday interactions as his starting point, from eating and sleeping to walking and conversation.

Our Labyrinth was presented in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern 26 May - 15 June 2022. It was performed by Ben Ajose-Cutting, Iris Athanasiadi, Rosalie Bell, Yen-Ching Lin, Liu I-Ling, Jean-Gabriel Manolis, Thomas McKeon, Aya Sone, Olivia Thynne, and Wu Cheng-Lung.

Simple, direct, elegant, ephemeral. Like writing or composing, installation art as the magic of moment-making. Setting a scene in motion that enables performers and audience to weave together a common fabric of unique experience. 😌
Every brush of the broom laid down is a direct expression of the inner personality of that human being. This is why mark-making can never lie. It will show you your true self.
This isn't choreographed?? It is intensely beautiful ❣️
What a beautiful performance. Dance, music and costumes are ideal. As a viewer I enter in a peaceful scenario. In a state of calm and total immerse in their dancing movements and interior world. Beautiful as well as Opera songs.
Fantastic. First time I'm hearing and seeing the work of Lee Mingwei, and I'm super intrigued. Thank you Tate!
Their art movements with the material is beautiful it's stunning like the Buddhist monks with their sand mandalas the transcience of it all
I love this kind of art, as a celebration and cantillation of Life, of what it is like to be a Human being - and the poetic and magic possibilities of every moment and meeting
🎶💜🎵
In the south-eastern states of the USA, black families would rack their front yards into patterns as they had no grass. Children often did theses patterns. This kind of art is instinctive, world wide.
Art is a beautiful thing. A painting or a sculpture is something marvelous, but I love the act of making art and feel that THAT in itself is also an art, it’s not just the canvas and brush that are being used as the creative tool, but the human being. The final product is art, but the process is the art that really calls to me. The movements, the speed, the force, mmmm so yummy. It’s like watching a film unfold but no characters are there to put words to the experience, so your brain starts making its own connections, and what you come away with is this unique relationship between you and this art, which feels like another piece of artistic creation. Inception through art is still like magic to me and I love things like this
Their artful motions and designs are simultaneously simple and complex. I enjoyed the artist’s comments. Thank you!
GORGEOUS!!!!!
How I wish I could experience 'Sonic Blossom'. I'd have bawled and wailed if an opera singer gifted me a song.
This work is also sensory and calming even through the screen. Surely checking out about this gentle artist.
It reminded me that my grandma was drying cabbage in the yard of her transitional house in Taiwan.
Never have seen or heard of this type of artistic creativity before. It's another YT video moment where I can see, hear and learn of something I may never otherwise be exposed to. Thanks so much. Loved this.
Odd how something so beautiful without words ..has to have a voice over in diametrical opposition to it.
La naïveté des oisifs et
l'illusion de la créativité.
The ankle bracelets are everything.
It is not ankle bracelets - it is Ghungroo (pardon me don’t know the origin) maybe Indian coz classical dancers in India wear it during practice/rehearsal and dance performances. I have only see it being used in Indian classical dances and have never seen any other dance form or country using it. So I was surprised.
Have you heard of the Save Soil movement before?🌍🌎🌏
The artwork is beautiful but in effect this is what humans do everyday when we interact with each other and with the planet and universe. And the result can be balance, imbalance, something in between or something that surpasses either extreme (chaos, enlightenment, etc.) or a hybrid synthesis.
Took my eventual comment. Great minds think alike ..ha ha ! We live in a profound world .
Beautiful and really interesting 💝👌🏽
I love this, to open my mind and to clear my head of all negative vibes.
Nice to see spreading, like hands of wind, only thing is life is not all that peaceful!
WOW ... I am absolutely impressed!
Caribbean 🇻🇨 Enjoyed
His artwork is beautiful. If I was serenaded with a beautiful Opera song I would cry.
I was so lucky to see this in person!
Фантастически интересное видео!

I love it! Lets multiply these new behaviors all over! Thank you Lee.
It just feels so fluid and going with the flow of creative energy as it flows through the artists. I love it very much, thank you for sharing!!

Stunning!!❤❤❤
Very spirituell...ein cosmic dance..sehr bewusst gehe ich in meinen Tag und tanze ihn in jeder Bewegung und Berührung. Danke🙏
Beautiful
Beautifully filmed and wo deftly done. Inspiring!
As a dancer, who can no longer dance, thank you. I also did costumes for years, so again thank you for posting. Real and profound art of the organic and interactive. Who were the dancers?
Hello! I am one of the dancers who performed in this work, thank you for asking. Our Labyrinth was presented in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern 26 May - 15 June 2022. It was performed by Ben Ajose-Cutting, Iris Athanasiadi, Rosalie Bell, Yen-Ching Lin, Liu I-Ling, Jean-Gabriel Manolis, Thomas McKeon, Aya Sone, Olivia Thynne, and Wu Cheng-Lung.
Incase anyone's wondering, the anklets these dancers are wearing are really similar, really identical to what we Indians know as "ghungroo". These are sacred anklets that has little traditional bells woven on a cloth piece that traditional Indian dancers wear while performing dances like "Bharatnatyam". Let these not be called just bells please.
Beautiful!!
beautiful work
Ansolutely stunning work

Superb. Just what I needed today.
Intéressant. 😊

O corpo e o gesto em magnifica consonância.
Mom: What are you doing with the dust? Clean up your room!
Me: This is art, mom.
Would be nice to acknowledge the dancers as well :)

Hi! How are you?
Today is already the last day of September this year.
Tomorrow is October - I wish you good health and good things for the rest of the week.
Thank you very much!
thank you!
All I can think about is how uncomfortable it must be to step on the rice grains and have to keep dancing
It would be challenging for the dancers not to get bored, to be inspirational in each movement.
Not if you are trained in organic movement or trance dancing. It is exhilarating in fact, as the slower you move, the more difficult it can be, so the professional dancer has a total experience also.
Don't know what's that doesn't want to pretend everything is art. But that's a pretty good broom.
I couldn’t tell if he said “a performance piece” or “a performance of peace”, which really struck me
I like the art.
Ghungroo is being worn here - 😢
Ghungroo (pardon me don’t know the origin) maybe Indian coz classical dancers in India wear it during practice/rehearsal and dance performances. I have only seen it being used in Indian classical dances and have never seen any other dance form or country using it. So I was surprised.

💙❤💙
Beatiful....I need it😍
So this is just like Zen garden, just with less sand?
Awesome in the least...
J'ai vu , ce projet en télé , y a quelques temps (je ne me souviens plus quand exactement .. mais c'était certainement sur TV5 Monde) ...et croyais que c'est plutôt... japonais ...🎎
🥰💞
What does it mean?
LMAAAAAAOOOOO
Artificial intelligence art can mimic human creativity.
But currently it cannot experience the joy of performing an art.
Performance art is safe for a few months till Boston dynamics plug in the open ai into one of their dancers.
PERFECT
Haryana, India.
Mepe gabah mb?
Advanced sweeping technique for cleaning a 5 thousand sqft home.
Oh so it's is inspired by Myanmar.We barely even know this. Cool btw

Transcendent
Сейчас конечно самое время для психов, осень, обострения.
reminds me of ancient skies full plasma dragons moving in space
"Artwork" is way too a big word for that. I'd have used different words, which I won't write in order to be vaguely respectful, yet I feel it is my duty to openly disagree with the current trend of defining whatever one does as art.
I don't feel that as an 'whatever' operation. I am vaguely curious about your definition of art
@Karan Raj No, it's not. Non by ME, anyway.
@Karan Raj no, it's not. It's not fine BY ME.
I cant believe it..... 🤷♂️
ok, wow
I do this every other day but with cat fur.
Lock down is over
The dancers seemed stiff like they were forcing themselves
Lol 😆 isk ive swept the floor allot idk if they are doing it right 😅🤣
Such a poignant addition to works in the Turbine Hall.
