WALTER SEGERS
STORY LINES
I travel quite a lot and inspiration for my work often arises from my curiosity around the interaction between humans, objects and locations. I am drawn to work that is layered, visually and conceptually, and is capable of communicating multiple stories simultaneously depending on the life experience of the viewer.
The series Story Lines combines multiple images using repetition. I record a location as a background and through people accidentally performing in front of the camera. Their interruption disputes the idea that there is a sense of order in our lives, and that being in the same place with someone else does not mean connectivity.
