Synopsis
What happens when a visionary French artist meets the iconoclastic and creative spirit of a former Tobacco Road town in the midst of a downtown revitalization? A singular grassroots arts project emerges that confounds expectations and takes the city of Durham, North Carolina by storm as buildings from a past incarnation of the city are transformed into temporary canvases for dramatic public art.

Bending Space: Georges Rousse and the Durham Project, an hour-long documentary film by Durham filmmakers Kenny Dalsheimer and Penelope Maunsell, captures the creative genius of French photographer and installation artist Georges Rousse and follows the artist and hundreds of 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. Bending Space reveals the complex process of creating Rousse’s signature trompe l’oeil illusions of color and shape that ultimately become the stunning large format color photographs exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. The film is witness to the energy that is unleashed when a remarkable photographer and an art-loving community join forces to create art and experience a city in new and unexpected ways.
