Dries Segers is a visual artist, photographer, matter bender, publisher and researcher. In his interdisciplinary field of work, he explores the value of human and earthly elements to start collaborative processes. The work shifts from work made out of matter which is tangible (rain, air, water, trees) in other cases he uses and activates invisibles (radiation, light waves, pollutions) always focused on material and silver based photography. His quest for togetherness leads to visualizations of the collaboration between species, raising questions about ownership, exploitation, and the protection of our shared world.

He exhibited at: Galerie Les Filles Du Calvaire, Paris (FR), Dans tes brumes (2024) ISELP, Brüssel (B), Critical Matter kuratiert von Marie Papazoglou (2024) Fotomuseum Antwerpen (B), Grace Ndiritu, Reimagines The FOMU Collection (2023) KUNST HAUS WIEN / Museum Hundertwasser, Wien (AT), Hotel Bellevue (2022) Galerie VITRINE, Basel (CH), Our compagnion, our other (2020) CAMERA/Centrul de Interes, Cluij-Napoca (RO), never, nowhere (2019) A Tale of a Tub, Rotterdam (NL), Mycelium as Lingua Franca (2019) Affiliated researcher at the Royal Acadamy of Antwerp, researchgroup Thinking Tools (2022-2024)

Project info

During his Art & Ecology residency at MQ, Dries Segers will delve into the writings and scientific records of Vienna-born alchemist Lili Kolisko. She researched the health of vegetable plants and the effects of minerals, salts and metals on our planet, using cameraless photographic methods. During the residency, Dries Segers will reactivate some of her experiments and examine both the photographic technique and the contemporary ecological relevance of these works.
