ARTIST’S STATEMENT
It is 2021 and two decades have passed since the new Millennium and the horrific happenings of 9/11. The world is different from what we once knew. Segers is in possession of more than enough photographs to print, repeat, and build new imagery. The accumulation of images in this media-obsessed culture gives him the opportunity to collage found images with his own photographs, thus creating new characters, archiving actualities, and constructing surreal pictures.
