Mirrors of Zlin – Complesco

Loom on the Moon Mirrors of Zlin

The multimedia exhibition reflects 700 years of Zlín’s history.
The first part of the exhibition works with the writer Pavel Kosatik’s distinctive view of the development of the city and its surroundings, which we have supplemented and glossed with drawings. This created an intergenerational dialogue between text and image, which further influences the other elements of the exhibition. We followed this part with an immersive film, a sequence of painted images that take visitors back to past moments of Zlín in different times, seasons and light.

The highlight of the exhibition is a constellation of fluid shapes placed among the most beautiful trees in the park. After dawn, it will resound with a polyphony of voices of real and fictional characters from different times and backgrounds. At dusk, it reveals a sound composition that is a celebration of cyclical time, the changing seasons and the moments of the equinox and solstice. The musical compositions are based on recordings from seventeen bell towers in the Zlín region. Each month of the year the voice of a different bell sounds through the park. The sound level is supported by moving light, which is a playful alternative to the night lighting of the park.

The Mirrors of Zlín exist in this place, at this time, and also hold the promise of the future renewal of Zlín Castle and Park.

philosophy

A complex research which aims to highlight the quality of architecture over any other aspect. We believe that architecture plays a meaningful role in society and that architects should be able to share the beauty they manage to create through their works, in a well mannered and considerate way: free of distractive advertisements and unpleasant commercials. Complesco is therefore a focused platform that wishes to take architecture to the highest level of consideration, believing that an appropriate selection will win over quantitative and generic architecture that is taking over the places we inhabit. Complesco is a tool to stop cheap apathy and indifference, towards a possible future of surrounding beauty.
