Reflectie by Pelle Schilling

Reflectie is an exploration of microprismatic foil and its relationship with light and movement. On one side of the room, four double pendulums swing around light sources in chaotic motion; on the other side, a large foil screen reflects the silhouettes of the spectators. Movement, position, light, and the foil together create an individual “painting” on the surface for each viewer.

Pelle Schilling crafts kinetic installations that reveal the poetic essence of physical phenomena. Through his immersive work, he orchestrates delicate dialogues between mechanical systems, sound, and spatial dynamics, inviting audiences into moments of pure sensorial revelation. At the heart of Schilling's practice lies a deep respect for the viewer’s autonomy in meaning-making. Rather than prescribing interpretations, he designs environments where significance arises organically through an intimate exchange between observer and artwork. His installations function as instruments that compose with natural forces and mechanical motion, creating spaces for direct experience and wonder, spaces where audiences are free to discover their own connections through unmediated, sensory engagement.
