•F begins to follow two young anarchists who sporty usurp abandoned commercial storefronts and apartments. These three strangers will become closer after subtle acts of trespassing and sporadic forays into civil disobedience. The longing for exile and the fantasy that a promising future is somewhere else contaminates F. The city is immersed in an eternal holding pattern, becoming into a singular artifact, as melancholy as uncanny.

Falso Sport
"Before, it was like this; now, it is like that." This recurring phrase in the work raises the question: what was like this, and now is like that? Through this wordplay, we glimpse a recurring theme in Segal’s works: a subtler, less persuasive form of magic—the trick. Falso Sport is filled with visual games, presented as yet another instance of assembly and editing. In its persistent exposure of the artificiality of images—mostly cardboard models of intentionally precarious realism—the work reveals a power dynamic that dictates what is shown and what remains hidden.
Key, washer, coin
An unclassifiable film that swerves between the realms of conceptualism, comedy, sound art, every-day anecdote and a grim accounting of our “society of control”. Departing from the weird experience of being a “language strategist” in a modern work-place, it sketches out multiple systems of words, symbols, diagrams, gestures and ex-changes – only to deconstruct them, and constantly return us to the realm of “pure signifiers”, the noise that exist before any identifiable meaning, the lines and colours that precede a recognisable image. In a world of logos designed to emotionally manipulate us, Segal values our perceptual freedom.
