Games are forbidden in the labyrinth
by Javier Téllez
Javier Téllez holds a singular perspective on issues surrounding psychiatric treatment, mental illness, normalcy, and the spaces we construct to confine these vexing questions. This book comprises a visual essay, purportedly a guide to the rules of chess, yet interwoven with texts by philosophers, literary figures, sociologists, and others, while touching upon references as diverse as Hieronymus Bosch, the Rorschach test, electroconvulsive therapy, and the Sharon Tate murders. Emergent new possibilities are confined by the administration of norms, albeit within an empathetic space.
