sounds like a very interesting exhibition ... so tell us more about how georges rousse
picks his locations.
well rousse has loved to travel from a very young age.
since then he has made photographs around the world shooting anything and everything
he saw.
at this exhibition there are photographs from nepal paris spain and more and rousse names
his artwork after the city where the photograph was taken and the year he took it.
so let's talk more about the artworks and the illusions he creates. can you talk a bit
more about that
well there's a huge difference in how the works look from up close and far away.. so
i'd suggest you look at them all from both perspectives.
when you look at his photographs from afar the shapes and structures in them look as
though they've been photoshopped or painted on... but as you get closer and closer you
will see that he painted the space itself giving the illusion that the shapes were painted
onto the photo.
so for example here's an image with a circle .
it looks like the circle is on top but to make the circle rousse actually painted the
walls doors windows and floors.
it's actually quite crazy if you think about it because the spaces that he's chosen are
not small.
many of them are abandoned construction buildings or houses with very high ceilings so all the
work and effort he did to create this kind of illusion is mesmerizing.
and you said that he created installation s at the seoul arts center right
that's right. he created three installation s for the seoul arts center.
one of them is located in the hangaram museum one is in the entrance to the museum and another
is located just outside of the opera house .
again these installations offer visitors a glimpse at how rousse created his photos where
he placed his camera and which surfaces he painted to create a certain shape.
let's look at the installation at the museum entrance.
from certain angles you can't tell that this is a work of art because at first it looks
like a bunch of red lines painted on the ceiling s and walls.
but if you stand on the space where rousse placed his camera then you will see the word
ggum , which means dream in english.
oh wow that's amazing so that's how he's created all of his works
that's right. it's even more impressive to see it in person.
well i will definitely check this exhibition out thank you so much michelle for the preview
and we will see you tomorrow with more.
you're welcome. see you tomorrow.
