His Work
  • "Ryno de Wet is a creator of dystopic and cinematographic worlds in which the 'No Man's Land'-Series plays a leading role. Ryno de Wet colonizes each corner of his photographs with an overdose of mystery, panic and disturbance.  The land of dreams continues to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration, and there are even more people who seem to travel through it when fully awake. There can be no other explanation for his audacious and chimeric photos. Ryno de Wet effectively uses digital techniques to transform a point of departure into one of arrival that is only in his head."
