Georges Rousse
Photography
125 x 160 cm
Georges Rousse has always liked desolate places. Their solitude and the fact that they are frozen in time between life and death making them an ideal place for meditation. A tireless traveller, he roams the world in search of empty factories, forgotten houses and buildings awaiting demolition, setting up his nomad studio to give them new life, a new history. Alone in these forsaken places, Georges Rousse has chosen photography as his only medium, using a unique camera angle to capture his work. New spaces are created by playing on perspective, anamorphosis and trick effects to reflect his unique take on the world.
