Optical Illusions Etc...: Avenue of Illusion

Description Presented here is a vast gallery of many different forms of Optical Illusions. Whether these optical illusions are conveyed through fractals, photographs, architecture, art, or old fashioned pen and ink, they are bound to remind you that "seeing is not believing."

Caution!!!! Some of the optical illusions on this blog may cause dizziness or possibly epileptic seizures. The latter happens when the brain can't handle the conflicting information from your two eyes. If you start feeling unwell when using this website, immediately cover one eye with your hand and then leave the page. Do not close your eyes because that can make the attack worse.

Avenue of Illusion

At first glance this is a nice photo of the avenue leading to the Institut de Cultura in Barcelona, Spain. But this particular morning the landscape has changed. The normally quiet street is packed with about 7000 people.

Click on the picture to read one person's account of participating in this photo shoot.

That's right before you is an avenue paved with 7000 nude bodies (all volunteers). The artist for this installation is Spencer Tunick. He has been documenting the live nude figure in public, with photography and video, since 1992. Check out the artist's site.
