Nicole Segers

I mainly work in long-term projects, published and exhibited in the Netherlands and abroad. I investigate contemporary subjects. In my fascination for borders and post-conflict subjects I focus on the condition humaine.

I collaborated with Irene van der Linde, Marc Prüst, Leo Divendal, Luuk Kramer, Anton Stolwijk and Rem Koolhaas
