Sous Les Etoiles Gallery Sous Les Etoiles Gallery is a contemporary New York-based exhibition space specializing in fine art

After fifteen years located in Soho in the historic Photo building at 560 Broadway and then 100 Crosby Street, Sous Les Etoiles Gallery moved the gallery in June 2021 on its new location on Manhattan Upper East Side, 16 East 71th Street , New York, NY 10021. With this move, the gallery is continuing to be passionate about photography and its extraordinary capacity of narration with its talented

artists and photographers and its program talks and lectures. In addition to its annual program of photography exhibitions, the gallery regularly hosts artist’s talks and lectures, publishes portfolio collections, photo books and exhibition catalogues, and participates in several top US art fairs. Press coverage of the gallery’s exhibitions includes the New Yorker, L’Oeil de la Photographie, CNN, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Photo Review, and TIME Lightbox, among others. Founder and Director Corinne Tapia has over a twenty-year history as a photography curator, consultant and collector, actively collaborates in portfolio reviews on a global scale, including FotoFest (Houston), ICP (New York), and Les Rencontres d’Arles (France); and is dedicated to partnering with public and private institutions to further advance the exposure and careers of the photographers she represents.

The books of Georges Rousse are more than publications—they are lasting records of works that no longer exist. Documenting his monumental installations through photographs, preparatory drawings, and critical essays, each volume offers an intimate look into the artist’s creative process and the transformation of abandoned and historic spaces into extraordinary visual experiences.

A must-have for collectors, photography enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the dialogue between architecture, color, and perspective.

Available at Sous Les Étoiles Gallery.

The United States has played an important role in Rousse’s international career. Since his first residency at P.S.1 in New York in the early 1980s, his work has entered major American museum collections, including the Guggenheim Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and the J. Paul Getty Museum.
In 2016, Georges Rousse completed his first permanent public installation in the United States at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, commissioned by the Art Production Fund in collaboration with Starbucks. Unlike his ephemeral interventions in abandoned buildings, this project challenged Rousse to create a work that would endure while remaining faithful to his exploration of perception, architecture, and illusion.
Another significant American projects took place in Durham, North Carolina, in 2006. During a public art residency, Rousse worked within several historic downtown buildings, including former to***co warehouses, creating eleven installations with the participation of more than two hundred local volunteers. The project transformed neglected spaces from Durham’s industrial past into monumental compositions of color and geometry, while bringing the community directly into the artistic process. It was later documented in the film Bending Space: Georges Rousse and the Durham Project.

Throughout his career, Georges Rousse has transformed some of Europe’s most remarkable historic sites—including the Conciergerie in Paris, the Musée Bourdelle in Montauban, Le chateau de Chambord in La Loire, ancient Champagne cellars, and centuries-old abbeys—like the Abbey of La Celle (Var) into monumental, site-specific works. Rather than imposing upon these spaces, Rousse enters into a dialogue with their architecture, history, and memory. His geometric interventions reveal hidden perspectives and momentarily reactivate forgotten places, allowing the past and the present to coexist in a single photographic image. Each installation is both a tribute to the spirit of the site and a meditation on the passage of time.

The preparatory drawings and watercolors of Georges Rousse reveal the essential first stage of his creative process. Exploring perspective, color, and spatial relationships, these intimate works provide insight into the conception of each architectural intervention while standing as independent works of art that bridge drawing, painting, and photography.

Our current exhibition Georges Rousse "Quiet Spaces" is on view through August 14th.

Silence has always been present in Georges Rousse’s work. In Quiet Spaces, it becomes the very subject of the exhibition.
His interventions do not simply transform architecture—they reveal it. Color and geometry create a precise point of view where space, memory, and light briefly align before disappearing forever. The resulting photographs preserve these impossible moments, inviting contemplation rather than spectacle.

This third collaboration with Sous Les Étoiles Gallery reaffirms Rousse’s unique ability to make us see space differently—through stillness, perception, and the poetry of the ephemeral.

With Quiet Spaces Exhibition, Georges Rousse is renewing his lifelong exploration of architecture, perception, and silence.

Through his ephemeral interventions, abandoned spaces become poetic compositions where geometry, color, and light converge. Each work exists only for a fleeting moment before surviving as a photograph—transforming forgotten places into timeless works of art.

Quiet Spaces invites us to slow down and rediscover the quiet power of space itself.
Through August 14th, at Sous Les Etoiles Gallery

While it last only one day until tomorrow to see Gottfried Jäger and the Founders of the Generative photography , we are very pleased to have received today the new book of Gottfried Jäger related to his personal archives. The exhibition "Poesie des Fotografischen" is on view in Kulturzentrum am Munster Konztanz (Germany) until August 28th! This exhibition demonstrates how Gottfried Jäger conceives of the photographic process as an act that is simultaneously poetic and technical, thereby opening up new perspectives on the image in the digital age.

The book is available at the gallery! and Tomorrow is your last chance to see some of his photographs in our gallery space!
