Do any folk here know about George Rousse? He's produced some great snaps. I found out about him on the French forum while asking them if they knew of any artists investigating the fact that film is "only" a 2D representation of 3D space. If anybody here knows any other artists working the same vein, I'd be keen to know. Franco Fontana's landscapes are another example.
Thanks,
Charles
G. Rousse

I found this link :

What can I say ? To me they are photographs of works of art, but are they artistic photographs ?

I'm not sure they're either, or rather they're both. From what I could gather reading the text on the site, the works are specifically created for the camera's viewpoint. In other words, the camera/photography is an essential part of viewing and recording the artwork which is otherwise ephemeral.
It's a long time since I studied the work of the Structuralists, but I detect a hint of Derridan fun and games here – and that's the first time I've ever written the words 'Derrida' and 'fun' in the same sentence. And probably the last.
