Leon de Bruijne makes kinetic installations in which everyday objects are set into motion. These movements create the suggestion of infinite repetition or are destructive instead. Time is often an important element in his work: he investigates ways in which objects can transform. If you want to get rid of a furniture piece, you can take it apart to create something new, give it to someone else, or throw it out. But if you are De Bruijne, then you might want to take Gerrit Rietveld’s Military Chairand have it gradually erode by sandpapering it, endlessly. The result is Quick Sand. [text 2023]
