“Prepare to Question Reality: Explore These Stunning Photos That Play Tricks on Your Mind!”
Emerging From A Curtain Of Water
Here, we see a man and a woman who appear to be sitting in a bunk, like the ones commonly seen in trains and large recreational vehicles. But the bunk’s curtain is made of water, and it’s somehow not spilling out onto the ground. What is going on here? This picture is a great example of “forced perspective” photography. The man and woman are reclined into a pool of water but are posed as if they’re sitting on the edge with their legs dangling down, the way they’d be if they were actually sitting. Very clever.
That Is One Enormous Dog
Wow, this must be the world’s largest dog. He simply towers over the women he’s pictured with. And they don’t even look scared! No, not really… you know by now that this type of illusion is the result of a photographer’s use of forced perspective. The dog was just a lot closer to the camera than the people, who were standing in just the right place to appear that they were all together. This pup is named Chicago, and his owner loves to post humorous pictures of him online.
At City Hall In Paris
The city government of Paris, France, commissioned this incredible optical illusion as a way to honor its “Season under the trees.” The aim was to raise residents’ awareness of nature and its role in the city. Created by artist François Abélanet, the piece looks like a 3D globe rising straight from the pavement. This type of art is known as an anamorphosis, defined as “a distorted projection or perspective requiring the viewer to use special devices or occupy a specific vantage point” to properly view the distortion. This one measured 120 meters by 25 meters and remained on display for 15 days.
