Reflexe is a wall of moving mirrors that catches the world in front of it and reshapes it. Step onto the lit stage and you become part of the piece — your reflection is fragmented and rewoven with the people and space around you. It reads like a vertical pool of liquid memory: as the mirrors ripple, reflections pixelate, merge and dissolve into the surroundings.

For this staging the mirrors sat as an alien water altar inside a decaying church — technology set against neglect, with water as the through-line. Visitors met a morphing vertical surface that bent their reflection, tying a very old act, looking at yourself in water, to a very new machine.

At David Vrbík’s multimedia event, Reflexe joined a programme built around empathy and the meeting of art and technology. Live jazz and electronic sets played against programmed, robotic objects; a Sunday-evening jam leaned into the cyberpunk mood of William Gibson’s Neuromancer. Reflexe fit into that world, and did so again during its run at Divadlo Archa in 2020, where we explored the interplay of light, lasers and the sound coming off the sculpture.

At the Zauberpark festival in Switzerland, Reflexe stood in the middle of a landscaped park, its robotic layer set against autumn nature. We built a site-specific choreography for the mirrors, inspired by a pilgrim’s walk through a restless forest — and it held up as well by day as it did in its nocturnal scenes.
