In the Light We Sometimes See: A Look at Ludo Segers' New PhotographyAbout the exhibition the press in Luxembourg and Lithuania wrote:
The exhibition is curated by Professor of Visual Arts, Ian Damerell with one hall showing the mostly landscapes photos, while the other hall displays portraits and some of Ludo’s press photography in addition to a number of new situations showing psychological themes, sometimes with a surrealistic twist. Professor of Visual Arts, Ian Damerell, emphasizes the role of light in photography, stating it defines our perception of reality and allows photographers to capture light's essence, preserving the stories it reveals. He says, 'Everything we see is light. Without it, our world would be an invisible emptiness.'Perhaps Ludo’s photo of the Super Moon over Prienai in the summer of 2023 embodies many of these elements. With a philosophical touch, Ian says, "without light, our world would be merely an invisible emptiness, without the colours and nuances that define our perception of reality." He adds, "Photography was born of light and in its heart, photography is about capturing the essence of light and preserving the stories it reveals.". The exhibition demonstrates that point, especially where Ludo Segers explores the limits of what we see and what disappears in either rain, but often the fog, sometimes the fusion of both. Those elements made some wonder where are these people in “Road to Nowhere” heading to? Or have they reached the limit of their journey? It all leads Ian Damerell to add that “Photographers, as true artists, master the nuances of light to bring their visions to life." 'In the light we sometimes see,' "It reminds us that moments of insight often come when we least expect them, illuminating truths that were once hidden." About Ludo's photos, Ian Damerell he observed, “Ludo can freeze a fleeting moment, transform the everyday, and when he does, he leaves a powerful visual memory.”
