This piece was very informative because it revealed Rousse's techniques and mentality as creates his installation pieces, from conception to completion. Part way through the video he mentioned how photography has the capacity to act as the memory of a place which I thought was quite interesting. He was particularly referring to the abandoned buildings that he sometimes worked with.
Another thing I found intriguing was the meticulous approach he described taking toward each and every one of his figurative paintings. He mentioned that he imagines the buildings and rooms that he works in as being two-dimensional spaces instead of three-dimensional because the final image that he creates will be two-dimensional. This stood out to me because I haven't approached a space before with this outlook and perspective.
In addition to this I thought that the way he integrated his travels into his art pieces was unique. He began to include various 'objective' maps into the artwork itself based on the areas that he travelled to. This created a blend between things that are essentially objective and subjective with relation to his work.
