Designer Yinka Ilori has created a colourful maze-like installation called Listening to Joy for the V&A Dundee, exploring the difference between how adults and children approach space.
Open to visitors of all ages, Listening to Joy is a labyrinthine interactive play area made up of curving mesh walls patterned in bright graphics.

Unlike in a conventional maze, the mesh panels are covered in zippers that can be opened and closed, so visitors can remake the space, rather than becoming trapped in a dead end.
Ilori designed Listening to Joy as a way of honouring play, a behaviour that is instinctual to children but less so to adults. "Listening to Joy is a celebration of play, an essential experience to enjoying life as well as practising our problem-solving skills," said Ilori.

The zippable walls are intended to reflect on what the V&A Dundee describes as "the often-contradictory spatial patterns adults and children form while experiencing space".
Children tend to be fluid and non-rational, while adults take a more controlled and linear approach, following implied boundaries.
