About the project (provided by the applicant)
This is the labyrinth of Crete.
This is the labyrinth of Crete whose center was the Minotaur.
This is the labyrinth of Crete whose center was the Minotaur that Dante imagined as a bull with the head of a man and in whose stone network so many generations were lost.
This is the labyrinth of Crete whose center was the Minotaur, which Dante imagined as a bull with the head of a man and in whose stone network as many generations were lost as Maria Kodama and I were lost.
This is the labyrinth of Crete whose center was the Minotaur, which Dante imagined as a bull with the head of a man and in whose stone network as many generations were lost as Maria Kodama and I were lost that morning and we remain lost in time, this other labyrinth.
