Reflexe

A robotic mirror artefact to reflect, fragment and morph surrounding world including the spectator nad his thoughts.

Concept

Reflexion consists of a wall of moving mirrors that reflect and transform the surrounding world. The viewer steps onto the illuminated stage and becomes part of the artwork. The mirrors appropriate his reflection and gradually transform it, fragment it and put it into unexpected contexts together with other spectators and the surroundings. 

Thus a hypnotic sci-fi object is born, a kind of vertical water surface that absorbs and shapes the visitor according to its own scenario. The fluidly undulating surface of the mirrors dilutes the reflections of everyone present into individual pixels; one becomes the image of the other or is dissolved in the reflections of the surrounding environment. 

Choreography

The movements of the mirrors are not random. They are guided by unique animation designed by the artists for the specific theme of the event and the space in which the work is displayed. The scenario also includes artist-designed ambient lighting and a soundtrack created in collaboration with other artists for the specific occasion. The sound and lights are synchronised with the movements of the mirrors, creating a unique site-specific audiovisual experience.
