A semiology of the spider’s art of weaving and an exploration of possible ways to enable thought and memory to escape from the labyrinth of language. Reflections on myths, on Friedrich Nietzsche’s work and on the Primitive Observer and Memory Dumps of Labyrinth of Kyriakos Kallis

The aims of this article are, on the one hand, to connect spiders and the way they are spinning their webs with the art of labyrinths’ structure and, on the other hand, to connect the latter idea with Nietzsche’s notion that words are nothing but threads spun on all sides of our thoughts, enlightening or, in most of the times, hiding the Dionysian view of the world. In addition to these, there will be an attempt to illustrate all these narratives through the work of the contemporary Cypriot artist Kyriakos Kallis, who attempts to reveal his memory symbolically, defractalising the code of his own labyrinth. In this framework, the attempt will be on presenting semiologically, through metaphors, the way our thought and the world in general are constructed.
