Seger Verbist

Within my practice I test the boundaries of what it means to be original. Through found footage, archived footage, movies and other people's art I try to experiment and create new artworks. Other artist's works serve as the foundation for my own art. I believe our culture would develop in a much more interesting way if we shared creative intellect freely, instead of gatekeeping it with copyrights and patents.

My artworks express themselves in different ways. The footage I use can be manipulated until it barely resembles its' original state, but in some instances I don't alter the footage at all and only try to put it in a new context.

I am interested in our postmodern state of culture and how it affects our perception. Simulation, simulacra and hyperreality are themes I incorporate into my research and can be found back in a lot of my works.
