Georges Rousse, la lumière et la ruine
Gilles Perru
1999 - 20 min - Super 16 mm - Couleur - France

This film follows the artist Georges Rousse from day to day as he creates one of his works in an abandoned building.
As each stage of his work-in-progress unfolds, from the preliminary on-location photography, followed by sketching period, through specific architectural reconstruction and painting up to the final photography, we are drawn closer to a deeper understanding of Georges Rousse's extremely personal approach to painting and photography, the strange nature of his imaginary and ephemeral architecture, and his fascination for light and ruins.
