In a world ruled by digital data, Dries Segers prefers to focus on organic processes, materials and techniques. This results in thoughtful orchestrated process-based imagery that want to make the invisible tangible.
The photographic image commonly consists of a controlled manipulation of optical, technical and scientific parameters. Segers stretches the limits and possibilities of the photographic medium by focusing on the uncontrollable. By giving photography the opportunity to encounter a process where technical and scientific rules are put to the test, images emerge.
The cosmologies of light, tree, plant, fungus and nonhuman organisms have claimed an important position in the work. Segers sees them as ‘vibrant matters’, non-human materials with their own reality, strategy and sensitivity. Natural resources are getting jaded, (non)human life forms are vanishing and become ghosts. Dries Segers wants to make these disappearing zones visible.
His work is, among other things, the result of a contact between different matters, outside of his control. It is a result of experiments in which he shares space with chance/luck within a designed situation. This disrupts his central role as a maker.
