Invisible Buses

There is a trolleybus going along the streets of Vilnius which literally "disappears" every time when passing by one of the central crossroads of the city. Lithuanian artist Liudas Parulskis created this miracle on the occasion of the 2016 Vilnius Street Art Festival. The photorealistic printed imagery mounted to the exteriors of the buses would form the scenery beyond along with the vanishing point at the right moment, thus camouflaging the buses.

Optical Illusion by Casa Ceramica

Duncan Cook, an owner of the Manchester tiles showroom, decided to attract buyers attention by transforming the entryway into the optical illusion - an imaginary hole in the floor. However, the effect of this installation is very doubtful, since customers, passing directly to the storefronts, often fall down, and if not, they subsequently complain of a headache.

3D Zebra Stripe

Looking at the pedestrians crossing the road in the quaint fishing town of Isafjordur in Iceland, you will feel that they literally "hover in the air." The original "zebra" was created as a collaboration between the city's environmental commissioner Ralk Trylla and street art firm Vegi GIH to remind motorists to slow down at the crosswalk and in the narrow residential streets, and also to enhance the city's aesthetic value.

La Villette En Suites exhibition by Felice Varini

Large-scale geometric illusions of Swiss artist Felice Varini can be seen during this exhibition in 2015 in Paris. When viewing from one point unconventional spaces with different depths took on the form of certain geometric figures.

Retro City of Optical Illusions

Elgin Park is a fictional 20th century town created by photographer Michael Paul. The non-existent settlement the streets of which are filled with miniature models of retro cars, models of buildings and other realistic decorations in the forcible perspective looks incredibly believable.

Retro City of Optical Illusions

This illusion is ensured by the skillful arrangement of models and correct lighting.

Green Planet

The Town Hall park in Paris is similar to a giant 3D globe at a certain angle and at a certain height, if not taking into account that this installation is 1500 square meters in width.

3D Gummy Bears

These human-sized gummy bears painted on the asphalt are the original work of street art in 3D technique located in Malta. Dutch artist Leon Kira managed to achieve the effect of "gelatin": the impression is that these bears can actually be chewed.

3D-portals on buildings

The works of this talented German artist known under the pseudonym 1010 can be found in different parts of the globe. He creates stunning colorful 3D portals that seem so real that when you see these portals you want to step inside.

Mind-Bending Room Installations

Peter Kogler from Austria will make you doubt whether you are sober or not. Simple lines transform flat floors and white walls of galleries into something trippy. As the result, it befuddles perspectives and alters your set notions of architecture.

Interactive installation by Leandro Erlich

This is some more art to do away with your sense of coordination altogether, Dalston House. Leandro Erlich, an artist from Argentina, gives an interactive experience to participants who get the illusion of sitting on ledges, dangling and scaling the sides of buildings.
