Reflections is a triptych consisting of three interactive video installations. Three identical boxes each house a video installation: ''Men that fall'', ''delay mirror'' and ''Women that turn''. They all, in their own fashion, respond to the visitor's movements in front of the screen.

Reflections is a collaboration between two of the studios in the Interactive Institute: Smart and Share.

Reflections will be shown in the design exhibition ''Dalarnas Designutställning 2005'', in Avesta, from 28 May until the autumn.
