Bending Space: Georges Rousse And The Durham Project

Directed by Penelope Maunsell

What happens when visionary French artist, Georges Rousse, meets the creative spirit of a former Tobacco Road town in the midst of downtown renewal?

Bending Space: Georges Rousse and the Durham Project captures the genius of French photographer and installation artist Georges Rousse and follows the artist and two hundred volunteers during a September 2006 public art residency in Durham. The film includes interviews with Rousse, project coordinators and volunteers, and people on the street as they visit the installations.
