The Scene Changes gives prominence to manifestations of lurking excess: illusive and thought-provoking scenes, portraits and landscapes, by artist Paul Segers. In his work, threatening signs of acceleration, polarisation and technological overload are configured. As many certainties of the past are overturned, the surreality of “the outsider” might become more acceptable to conservatives’ eyes’ experience. Paul Segers builds on the hypothetical opportunities of the settings in these scenes, delivering an array of hard-core exposures. Rigorously broad-minded and without any bias, these scenes are real scenarios. To come to a better understanding of the exceptional value of the marginal position taken by the artist, three texts are included. Sebastian Olma positions the artist in the here and now as a veritable ‘Comrade of Time’, a concept coined by the Russian art theorist Boris Groys. The Infiltrator by Ine Gevers approaches Segers as a performance artist who ‘acts out’ environments, images and objects from society in alternative scenes. Finally, weaving a narrative out of biographical information, critical and pop cultural references and taking us along the scenes of the various works, Mark Dery unifies all matter in ruminations what life in these scenes may have to offer.
