Dries Segers - Seeing a rainbow (through a window that isn’t there)

Seeing a rainbow (through a window that isn’t there)

by Dries Segers

Design: Ties Goos

Words: Jeroen Laureyns, Philippe François, Dries Segers, Dennis Van Mol & Eva Vermeiren

offset full color

selfpublished, co-publisher: de Warande

Edition: 350 copies

"Seeing a rainbow (through a window that isn’t there)’ is a way to contemplate the modern, industrialized landscape. Everything we see is constructed by humans, we take everything as truth, normal, a grey zone. By using the metaphor of a rainbow (light + water – which everyone adores) Dries Segers applies the color spectrum on what we are tired of seeing."

Edition 100
Price + £18.00

"The project presenting a very personal response to the fast changing landscape of London, Fear of Disappearance set out to explore the notion of identity in relation to space and architectural landscape. What kind of changes do we experience as the result of relocation? How do the memories of specific physical locations contribute to the development of place attachment? And crucially: How can the anxiety of change be visually expressed?"

Many of our chance happenings in life are just like that: ordinarily beautiful. In a town with a name that translates to mean “place of love” where else would you expect to find such a sweet kiss of plain vanilla…"

“In Lisboa, I passed solitary people on the street and began to wonder what they were thinking about, on what reverie they drifted, who they were missing, what secret they were keeping… What were their hang-ups? I thought about objects and places, and the meanings and memories that people assign to them. And then I sought to make photos around the city that captured this longing, this loneliness, these mental and emotional obstacles and associations that most likely are never told, let alone understood by others.”

"Tempo arenoso (Sandy Time) was constructed by ideas and concepts that involve the questionings of how we see time, of how we believe that time can fictionalize our gaze. Stepping away from a linear narrative, the essay treats the landscape as a thought; it is about the dilution of physical time into the contemplative one, of time captured by photography and converted into memory."

"Eva-04 is many things at the same time, an expedition to and reflection on a foreign mindset. Created in Japan in 1998, so at some distance from a Western European home, the work formulates basic ideas that question the socio-psychological location of the individual in society. Japan was a good place for Sabine Schründer to approach an idea of the individual by photographically exploring the sensitive nexus of individual and group, of group and society". – Heide Häusler

"The title Anima Mundi is derived from the Latin phrase for ‘Soul of the World’ and represents the intrinsic connection between all living things. The layout of the book evades any finite ending as the viewer creates layers of mystery that reject the notion of a linear narrative; in turn the viewer is given ownership of their own personal narrative as they interact with the work."

"All that is Solid Melts Into Air links the two global cities Frankfurt and London. Aspects such as the development of information technologies, globalization and cross-linking complicate the reading of social processes in an urban space. The rejection of the idea of a endogenous space leads to a crisis in which the urban topography still exists but is increasingly replaced by it's own image."
