His early work was told to "alienate household items, especially mattresses, but also chairs and tables, and places them in the useless and meaningful sculptural context.

In that year the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Zegers and five other young artists Giny Vos, Nicolaas de Haan, Agnes Roelofse, Hans van Bentem, and Trudi van den Berg were granted an assignment to get their professional practice started.

In 1991 Zeger was selected with Ab van Hanegem, Aernout Mik, Kaap, and Lidwien van de Ven for the São Paulo Art Biennial,[10][11][12] Eventually the Dutch contribution was redrawn,[13] and ended up at an art fair in Los Angeles.

[14] In the new millennium Zegers also started as sculpture teacher and coordinator at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.

In 1990 Zegers was granted an encouragement award by the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst,[16] and in 1993 he received a Charlotte Köhler Price.
