December 2019, Effe Rustig settled on Eendrachtsplein in Rotterdam and during Museum Night 010 in the museum The Nieuwe Instituut with a pop-up installation. We took several residents of Rotterdam into a VR experience, challenging people to relax in the middle of the city. More and more young people experience stress and pressure; Burnout is a common diagnosis. Our challenge is to help residents in an accelerating city like Rotterdam slow down. If you give yourself a break every now and then, you will get a lot in return. How many minutes do you really invest in yourself? People were asked this question in a virtual experience. We motivated people in a positive way to consciously take a minute.
