An impressive anamorphic illusion in downtown Seoul created by South Korean digital media company D’strict.

The ‘aquarium wave’ makes use of the world’s largest advertising screen, spanning 80.1 x 20.1 metres.

More of D’strict’s work here and here.

‘The Secret Of the Great Pyramid’ by French artist JR – thousands of strips of paper pasted to the courtyard outsde the Louvre by 400 volunteers to create a massive ephemeral anamorphic illusion celebrating the 30th anniversary of the now iconic but once reviled Louvre Pyramid. To wit:

The sun dries the light glue and with every step, people tear pieces of the fragile paper. The process is all about participation of volunteers, visitors, and souvenir catchers. This project is also about presence and absence, about reality and memories, about impermanence.

Melon-twisting installations by artist Chris Engman composed of large scale digital photographs secured to the walls floors and ceilings of domestic interiors.

 As viewers ’step inside’ the image, the anamorphic effect is dispelled and the scene becomes fragmented and warped.

Which is disappointing, yet salutory and reflective of idealised perception in general.

An anamorphic pedestrian crossing in the Icelandic fishing town of Ísafjörður created (as a rather elegant traffic calming measure) by street painting firm Vegi GÍH and Ísafjörður’s environmental commissioner, Ralf Trylla.
