Its all painted on. He used angles to make it look like another object. Look at it from another angle it wouldn’t make sense at all

“Take the above photo for example. At first glance it looks as if one is looking at the scene through a circular filter. A closer look reveals that the shapes in the circle appear to be entirely separated from their background, as if an unrelated photograph has been superimposed on the area behind.”
I disagree look at the space again and the with a closer look you can tell that the room in the “filtered section” has been dry walled

Samuel, It’s art. And for saying that it doesn’t make sense, you shouldn’t be looking at certain types of art ’cause obviously you don’t understand the concepts of this.

I think alot of people who commented are confused.

This is NOT photoshopped images. They’re just paint on walls, ceilings, doors and woteva else needs to be painted on. The pictures are taken in a certain spot which lines up all painted pieces and makes it look like a solid image! Cool!

And of course it belongs here, it’s an ‘optical’ illusion

I think I’ve seen something like this before, the artwork in some carpark space won some art prize. Pretty awesome.

IS IT PHOTOSHOP OR NOT? (especially notice the END of the video to understand)

(sorry I get angry but Georges Rousse is a genius)

I don’t understand why you guys don’t read what it says in the start.. It’s NOT photoshop and the ARE indeed GREAT illusions..
The rooms are PAINTED in a very strange way, causing the spectator to see actual images from only ONE point of view.. Although, Justine, there are also pictures from other angles on the web, so if we had these here everybody would’ve understood what this is all about..

Clever use of lighting to blend the superimposed pictures into the other ones. They make interesting pieces of artwork.

One can argue that they are “illusions” rather than “pictures of illusions” meaning that the pictures them selves are the illusions, instead of being mearly a photograph of a Julaian Beever work, or a mural of some sort.

Yeah, sorry Justine, but this artwork, and “photoshopped” no less. He’s taken abstract art (like the red squares) and superimposed them over the top of ordinary pictures. They are kind of interresting from an ‘artwork’ perspective, but they don’t really have a place here.
JMHO.

I DON’T KNOW IF THESE QUALIFY AS OPTICAL ILLUSIONS, AS THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED, BUT THEY ARE STILL INTERESTING. STILL NEED TO DO BETTER.

they are all very interesting pictures…and you shud go to his website to see how these pictures were created. That helps to understand the explanation above and also the images without any explatnations….great photography!
But, Justine, I think you gotta work more on your explanations…sound more enthusiastic, engage the audience! :-) You will probably catch on as you start posting more.. :-)
