For Georges Rousse
For Georges Rousse is a trophy created as a tribute to a French photographer. The trophy is a three-dimensional sculpture based on anamorphosis, an optical effect in which a form looks distorted from most angles. Seen from one specific point, the folded planes align and show a flat circle with colored openings. The form was modeled with a three-dimensional computer program. Plates of cupro-nickel and silver were cut, folded and soldered, then colored by heat to create a contrast between black and white. The trophy measures 115 by 137 by 154 millimeters.
