Reflexion

Art Build’s project, titled, Reflexion, is a series of three periaktoi composed of independently rotating mirrored sections. Each section has three mirrored faces, one planar, one concave, and one convex. These columns are placed in proximity to one another to interact visually both with each other and the wider environment. Park-goers can manipulate each periaktoi to reveal varying reflections of both the surroundings and themselves. The concept of reflection acts as a way to help park-goers experience the park in new and unexpected ways. In particular, the interactivity of the piece serves as a way to draw people of all ages, abilities, genders and create immersive experiences for locals and those who may be visiting the park for the first time.
