Works by a French photographer Georges Rousse at first glance, they seem to be photographs of abandoned premises, on which the author subsequently draws geometric shapes. But in fact, everything happens exactly the opposite: first, Georges Rousse is engaged in the design of walls, floors and ceilings, and only then takes a camera in his hands.
Believe it or not, the geometric shapes on the walls of the rooms are not really the result of working with images in Photoshop. The author had to work hard to create these drawings in reality, because it was necessary to take into account the unevenness of the surface, the angles of incidence of light, the presence of additional objects in the rooms, and so on. And one more important point: the picture conceived by Georges Rousse can be seen only from one specific point. Just take a step back to the left or to the right - and clear geometry will turn into something completely abstract.
Georges Rousse began working in a similar genre in the 1970s. Sometimes the author changes the appearance of abandoned premises with the help of not only paint, but also other building materials: for example, she sheathes part of the floor and walls with thin wooden slats.
Georges Rousse was born in 1947 and lives and works in Paris. The author became interested in photography at the age of nine, having received a camera as a gift for Christmas. The photographer first demonstrated his work to the general public in 1981 in Paris, and to date he has solo exhibitions in Europe, Asia (Japan, Korea, China), the USA, and Latin America.
