Anamorposis is an illusion where a specific vantage point is needed for the image to come together. French artist Bernard Pras has made an art of assemblage. This, his latest piece, is a portrait of Malian actor Sotigui Kouyaté.
You can see it is composed of clothes, paint, wood, rubber, and other objects scraped together.
It's only when seen through his camera that the portrait comes together.
En marge du Fespaco, Bernard Pras crée un inventaire du comédien burkinabè Sotigui Kouyaté, à l'Institut Français de Ouagadougou. Vernissage le 20 février. Jusqu'au 9 mars
Without using any green screen, these optical illusions are simpler than they appear. Really, just titling the camera to level with the sidewalk creates what seem like gravity defying feats.
This from the mind of filmmaker Ross Ching and star dancer Karen Cheng.
Graphic design and optical illusions come to life in the work of Takahiro Kurashima
With what seems an elegantly simple set of visual and technical elements, Art Director Takahiro Kurashima creates beautifully striking visual effects.
新しい世界を見る方法 静は動の中にもある。 動は静の中にもある。 静止だけを見るのではない。 動きだけを見るのではない。 静と動の間を行き来することから、 新しい視野が生まれる。 思考と行動の間を行き来することから、 新しい視野が生まれるように。 新しい視野は、新しい力を呼び、 新しい世界を生み出していく。 Poemotion。それは、新しい世界を見る方法。 The way to see a new world. Stillness exists in motion. Motion lives in stillness. Stillness is not the only thing one sees, nor is motion the only thing. In between stillness and motion, a new vision rises. Like in between thoughts and action, one finds a new vision. From a new vision, comes a new force that generates a new world. Poemotion is the way to see a new world. text: Shunsuke Iwai & Woog music: Eisuke Mochizuki movie: Seiji Himura slant.jp/poemotion.html
