About For Georges Rousse Praemium

Pro Georges Rousse est praemium creatum in honorem photographi Francici. Praemium est sculptura tribus dimensionibus constans, anamorphosi innixa, effectu optico in quo forma ex plerisque angulis distorta apparet. Ex uno certo puncto visa, plana plicata concurrunt et circulum planum cum aperturis coloratis ostendunt. Forma programmate computatorio trium dimensionum efficta est. Laminae ex cuprinickelo et argento sectae, plicatae ac ferruminatae sunt, deinde calore coloratae ut discrimen inter nigrum et album crearetur. Praemium metitur 115 per 137 per 154 millimetra.

Unique Properties: It is a trophy for French photographer Georges Rousse. Forms were made by imaging his stories and works. Based on this, I produced a trophy figure that is a three-dimensional impossible that showed the intended form and image at one point. I expressed the interior space that is his work in a structural form with a sense of space. Also if you look at the trophy from a point in time, you can see a two-dimensional circle with holes in different colors. It is an indirect message to rousse.
Dimensions & Packaging: 115 mm x 137 mm x 154 mm
I produced a trophy figure that is a three-dimensional impossible that showed the intended form and image at one point. My work has a visual illusion of Anamorphosis. This seems to distort or distort the appearance of the object depicted in the picture from a normal point of view. However, when viewed from a specific location or angle specified by the artist, the distortion disappears and the figure in the picture appears normal.

Production Technology: The form is produced through a computer 3D program. The metal plate is cut using a saw or a laser. It uses the technique of folding or soldering metal to fit the drawing. I use cupro-nickel and 925silver as materials. This is because when the form is finally completed and the body is colored through heat, the contrast between black and white can be seen. Then we can clearly see the picture of the form or surface I intended at a specific point in time of the finished work.
Design Challenge: Usually, the visual expression of Anamorphosis is only seen in large spaces for us. This is because the larger the space, the more effective the visual expression.
In order to show this through a small objet, I expressed it in three dimensions by combining the visual expression of IMPOSSIBLE FIGURE such as Penrose’s triangle as we know it. At one point, the three-dimensional sculpture of the trophy will show you impossible figure through Anamorphosis. That shape isn’t make sense.
Research: This work is a trophy to commemorate the Georges Rousse, which gave me a lot of enlightenment in using visual expressions, giving me the direction of formative work with memoriality and symbolism. In the future, I will continue to explore and pioneer the technique of creating sculptures in which the external and visual moldings and the inner and memorial and symbolic meanings of each are harmonious. Research on making these sculptures will advance my trophies, ornaments, and various objets.
Inspiration: Among many techniques of metal crafting, there is a technique of digging a groove in a metal plate, folding it at a certain angle, and then soldering between them. I like geometric shapes and I naturally became interested in the technique and I used it to produce many works. During this process, the metal plates were folded in and out to create interesting shapes. At this point, I came up with the idea that I could see the shape I wanted from a certain angle. The three-dimensionally folded metal plated can show the planar shape I intended from only one angle, which gave me curiosity and curiosity, and gave me visual fun. With this expression of Anamorphosis, jewelry like a brooch was later vanished with lacquer on the shape of the angle I intended.
Project Duration: The project started in Seoul in September 2017 and ended in late December 2017 in Seoul. First, the work was exhibited at the Gold Museum in New Taipei, Taiwan from June to October 2018. And secondly, before I graduated from the graduate school, this work was exhibited in the school gallery.
Operation Flow: My work has a visual illusion of Anamorphosis. This seems to distort or distort the appearance of the object depicted in the picture from a normal point of view. However, when viewed from a specific location or angle specified by the artist, the distortion disappears and the figure in the picture appears normal. Viewers feel visually confused by observing these distortions. It also creates strong concentration in them, creates tension, and leads them to doubt their views.
