George Rousse Forever
July 3, 2008
French photographer George Rousse designs onto the abandoned spaces before taking the photo, correcting for such things as the slope of floors or the interruption of beams, so that the painted designs come together to produce the illusion of a simple, flat design floating on the surface of the photo.
This type of work is referred to as anamorphic art. It changes but is only viewable in its intended focus from one precise viewpoint. The projects involve not only painting, but also some construction of sometimes major proportion.
Check the recent film BENDING SPACE.
Rousse’s compatriot Felice Varini works in a similar way.
