Katalin Ladik’s piece is the installation-version of the 40-metre long embroidered textile ribbon used in her performance at documenta Athens in May 2017. Based on the figure of Ariadne in Greek mythology, the performance addressed the contradictions and multi-layered nature of the feminine principle and female roles. Symbolising the golden thread leading Theseus out of the Minotur’s labyrinth, the hand-embroidered ribbon is presented at the exhibition as an autonomous installation, reflecting on women’s fate as a memento of the ill-fated princess.
