Nights of Nostalgia
Stijn Koks
In his solo exhibition Knights of Nostalgia, fashion designer Stijn Koks presents two short films alongside a spatial installation: a hand-built ‘cyber forest’. The exhibition serves as a visual and thematic extension of his most recent collection, in which nostalgia, childlike fantasy, and playfulness take center stage—blended with contemporary fashion and social reflection. Stijn Koks explores how, as adults, we become estranged from our original imaginative powers. His designs aim to bring back that sense of innocence and wonder into a world increasingly focused on efficiency, control, and outward perfection. He works with reused materials and readymades—not only as a sustainable choice but also as carriers of collective memory. Everyday objects from the past—such as toys, household items, and textiles—return in a new context, transformed into garments, accessories, or sculptural elements that balance between kitsch, satire, and sincerity.
