Kill your Autopilot

Rients Dijkstra

In a dark space, a rectangle frames a landscape of concrete and tubes gliding by. Rients Willy Dijkstra invites you to ‘Kill your Autopilot’ and pay as close attention to your everyday surroundings as you would to a sunset. Rients works from the perspective of scenography: the crafting of spaces and atmospheres in theatre using set, light and sound design. Experiments with light and scale resulted in analogue tools which create immersive experiences of architectural space. These objects vary from a series of abstract dioramas to gaze into to a human-sized wooden structure to step inside of. This project awakens the viewer to the show that has always been happening around them.
