On the facade of the Utility Company Region Eindhoven (NRE), a video projection can be seen, starting calmly with colored patches moving across the facade but ending in a whirlwind of complex images. The intense projection creates convincing illusions. The texture of the facade appears to change, parts of the building seem to move or shift, and ultimately, the facade appears to break into numerous fragments, detaching from the ground and then returning to its original place after a wild journey above the pond.
In Urban Reflex, the possibilities offered by the building’s form are fully utilized. The images have such a suggestive power that the spectator feels drawn in as if in a movie. The accompanying sound, electric tones occasionally reminiscent of keyboard typing, is from BelnvisbleNow.
