If you haven’t heard, there is this organization called AMREF (short for African Medical & Research Foundation), which makes the World’s Leading African Health Development Organization. And as you might have guessed, it battles to provide better health care to people of Africa. But what’s even more interesting for us, optical illusion-orientated audience, is AMREF’s recent billboard campaign. Check out these incredible posters below! What do they remind you of? How about blurring your eyes for a second? Unfortunately, AMREF didn’t come to this idea by itself. In my belief Manu Dibango did it much earlier with his Wakafrika LP cover. You can see it attached at the end of this post.
South america??
1 wtf its africa and 2 y r u on at 2 in the morning?
u do no u posted that at 1:00 am
Pshhhh i mean Africa :P
LOL . . .we all do dumb things, Denzel. I’m just glad I didn’t say something stupid like “a gall bladder.”
Cool idea, but not much of an optical illusion.
freaking awesome…i wonder how long it took them to do that, there’s some editing but the actual positions of the people and the clothes must have taken ages to do…AWESOME
They even included Madagascar. Very artistic and nicely done.
lol fail of corse its africa, (im not racists its just a way of describing people) y else would it be black people?
wow, this is an optical illusion how?
all the people are mini africas!
Pshhhh i mean australia
EH i only said the first and second comment , nott the australian part ..
Pshhhh i mean……… uh well afric AGAIN!!!! Haha your cool
Its obviousley africa you dont need to blur your eyes to see that
pretty cool. At first I had no idea where the illusion was til I tried blurring my eyes. Awesome! Though the rose one I don’t really like.
Its too…like, just grab a cool bride and some roses and change the shape of the roses. Done!!
(blahhhh)

or google heike weber installations
i love your site i have it on my google home page
Couldn’t figure out the illusion at first… but it’s pretty cool.
Africa is what I see.
NUMBUH THREE AND… yea i saw it at first
I like that billboard. Simple, but effective.
for those of you that don’t know, the people are supposed to resemble africa, same with the flowers
How can people be saying its not an illusion. Its something looking like something its not. In this case people (or roses) looking like the country of Africa. It may not be the most elaborate illusion but it still is an illusion.
Mmm, Africa is not a country anyway…
Its africa!
no i mean south america! duh! im so stupid!
People usually get confused between south america and africa because when the countries were in one mass called pangela,africa and south america were one land. Infact is u can cut out africa and south america from a map u can fit them together like puzzle pieces!
Very interesting,but I am not that impressed…………
Both South America And Africa Duh?
I got the flowers and stuff, but i didnt get the people at first. then im like “im so dumb. its south america!” lol
u no need to blur eyes u can tell its africa from 2 cuntrys away not much of ilusin tho
The people form Africa and their shoes form Madagascar very creative!
ooohhhh now i see it
aaa what?
south america and africa do look alike, but those pictures definitely look like africa
