While on a boat off the Coral Sea in Australia, French artist Rousteau retreated to the darkroom to invent mental topographies of his own, reducing the landscape down to the barest constituent elements – water, air and light. Often saturated, interrupted or out of focus, his photographs are series of playful experiments navigating between figuration and abstraction, painting and digital art, inviting us to consider the point where human imagination interacts with the landscape.
This swiss-bound volume extends Rousteau's fiction by enhancing his globetrotting captions, while its perfect binding and single-image based design are inviting readers to rip away and reappropriate the seascapes as their own.
