Xavier found this rather interesting optical illusion. The illusion was created by Bernard Pras. Xavier explained: “There is a little shop in Burkina Faso. The owner is looking around for customers but there doesn’t seem to be much interesting about his plastic buckets and trinkets. Or is there ? Watch what happens when a picture is taken from another side of the shop“. You should see a man’s head (African) in profile. Inside the article there is another photo, same shop seen from another angle. To see the face in the first photo, you’ll probably need to step away few inches from your monitor. Great one!
WHOOOOOOO!!!
One of the best i have seen!!
took a while but seen it in the end.
Fantastic!
wow! this is amazing. nice.
awesome!
Pretty sweet. Simple and sweet.
where is it??? i dont see him!
i think i see a mouth and wat looks like a colourfull face mask above mouth
i dunno if i am right thou
wow… GOOD one!
Yup – deffently one of the best iv’e seen!
some one plz explain
The color part is a hat like a colorful kufi. (in the top picture). Then if you follow the roof of the hut down to the right, it is his forehead. Just to the left of the roof is his eye. Underneath the roof edge is the bridge of his nose in a gray kind of color, then the nostril part of his nose is a brown jug or pot or something. Under that is some greenish stuff followed by to horizontal things that are his lips, then his the log is his chin, etc. Very very nice.
wooh that is nice
couldn’t see a face at all
but your description suddenly made the face clear as day
thanks for the description
im sorry but i tried real hard and i don’t see anything
i’ve allways liked the african illusions
keep em commin
The man can be seen in the first picture.
He is facing to the right of screen, and the colourful objects form a headband/bandana thing.
It is excellent. No.10. The hair is formed by the roof of the shop. Then there are a lot of plastic trinkets forming a head band. The face is looking to the right of the picture. The forehead is sticking out beneath the headband. the nose is formed by a tin and two round objects. the area under the nose another roundish object.The lips 1 dark and one light stick. the chin by a tree trunk. I don’t know what the funny looking thing is which is used for the eye. I think you’ll see it now
Well done! respect!
Unique illusion!
I don’t get it either.
WOW!!! IT’S FANTASTIC!!
Open the first picture and step away from the monitor.
hate to be that guy but this one is definitely photoshop look at the colorful part and keep track of the objects in both pictures they move i thought it might be photoshopped at first glance but i give everything the benefit of the doubt on this site until i get some proof
saw it at first go. Truly an amazing one.
Here’s the way I interpret this illusion:

The colorful buckets are the african hat. The log is the back of head to neck. The white pan in lower left is shoulder. The profile is the whole shop. Don’t look just at the buckets. IT is soooo cool! Really great.
Awsome Illusion. It is very interesting. Keep the Illusions coming!!!
Wow. It’s awesome…and it would be even better if it was acidental!
Oh! Omigosh! I was lookind at the SECOND photo and going “huh, where’s the face?” but you have to look at the first one! Omigosh, idiot. That’s what I am. I am so stupid.
For the guy that things this is photoshoped – the two photos were taken from different angles so of course it’s going to look like they are in different places.
looks a bit like a monke to be honest. But i still love it! Its so creative!
I can’t see it. I think it sucks. How is it a face? All I see is a bulding!!! I am a yound child, you should make them so that children get it.
Hallucinant ! C’est l’une des meilleures illusions que j’ai jamais vu !
i dont get it can some dude help me i dont understand!!!
fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Spooky-ooky
you guys do know that this is fake, right? That man just walked there for the second picture.
Awesome.Unlike what most say,this is not photo-shopped.It is possible to make something like this.You could do it to your house,if you wanted.
I am an artist and it has always fascinated me that non-artistic folk will critique what they themselves are not capable of doing. This is a wonderful piece of art! I hope the artist continues to explore his gift and share it with others.
was that intentional?
SO AWESOME!!!! Its like the coolest one ive ever seen!
That was tough! Would’ve been helpful if i’d known the entire photo is a man’s profile. I was searching for a small guy within all the stuff.
don’t see it :(
On the right side of the shop, next to what appears to be a grey painted piece of wood… is a black mans face. I have also seen the entire picture being a face too.
I can’t see the face in the second picture.
it’s in the first one, not the second one.
