Georges Rousse (born 1947 in Paris) is a French photographer.
Rousse's work, from the 1990s to today, appears to be photos of desolate or abandoned spaces, such as buildings, rooms, parking garages or streetscapes, often on their way to the wrecking ball, on which the artist has superimposed precise geometrical shapes or squiggly graffiti.
However, this is a intended illusion. What Rousse does is to paint these designs onto the abandoned spaces before taking the photo, correcting for such things as the slope of floors or the interruption of beams, so that the painted designs come together to produce the illusion of a simple, flat design floating on the surface of the photo.
