Anamorphose/Metamorphose: Photographic Interventions by Georges Rousse

San Diego Museum of Photographic Art (MOPA), temporary space exhibition.
Oct. 25, 1999 through Jan. 30, 2000

This artist had an exhibit in the temporary space the museum had while the expansion was taking place. It was held in downtown San Diego, at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Rousse uses old abandoned warehouses in France, where he lives and works, and creates optical illusions in them by cutting out walls and then painting geometrical patterns over them. When viewed just from the cameras angle, you would think you were looking at, say, a gauze screen with a design on it floating in front of the old buildings walls. I was truly in awe at the effect. I love when an artist makes you think, and try to add the same theory, of course, to my own work.
