Video: Another Reverse Perspective

3D-Painting-Illusion-by-Patrick-HughesFew days ago I posted an introduction to Patrick Hughes’ Reverse Perspectives. In my opinion his creations add important value to modern art, and more important for us – enrich optical illusions field. As you have noted (and I share your view), previous video didn’t do justice to Patrick Hughes’ opus. It was shaky, and relatively avoided showing this magnificent effect in full strength. So, I have found another, better example to present Hughes’ work with.

I believe, and am certain you’ll agree with me, that this video presents Reverse Perspective in much better light. Now it’s much easier to experience Patrick’s exhibits. It also helps us to understand how his perspectives really work. Be sure to carefully listen what Patrick said about evolution of perspective at 1:10.  Oh, I know it might annoy you, but our video player is loaded after the whole page has been downloaded in your browser. I don’t know how to change this, but waiting few seconds probably won’t kill you ;)

  1. I love this kind of optical illusions. I cannot always understand HOW it’s done, and I really don’t want to know every time because then it’s as fun to look at them each time I see one.
    Really love them. Good illusion!

  2. What a valuable life lesson, that one thing can be seen so differently depending upon the perspective.

  3. So hard to get my head around it!

    Don’t worry about the player loading at the end – at least for those of us who like to read your comments before looking at the illusion. By the time I finish reading, it’s all ready to go.

  4. Awesome! I would really love to go and see this exhibition! :-)
    And the waiting didn’t kill me…just built up the anticipation :-)
    Really cool illusion!

  5. I didnt wait a few seconds. I waited about a minute, which was kinda annoying since i had nothing else to do…

  6. That was so hard to see the trick, until they showed the pictures almost sideways. That is amazing! Even knowing what’s done, it’s hard to detect.

  7. Aw man! That’s so cool! I looked it up on Wikipedia, it says that (I guess they’re behind a wall or something? Well anyway) the stuff that apppears farther away in perspective is actually physically closer. Like that dragon cut out!

  8. I don’t know what the music at the beginning is, but then end music is called “Dream or Fantasy” and is actually a part of Apple’s GarageBand in the music library

  9. Absolutely incredible, and thoroughly detailed video. However, the way you word it makes it seem as though you invented inverted/reverse perspective — which you clearly didn’t, since it has been around for centuries in Japanese and Byzantine Art.

    I suspect the new thing you’ve done is the actual sculptural work, which I think looks great. I liked the ‘room’ which had Mondrian and Picasso in it. I also loved the clip of children walking around the gallery trying to see the works in all their glory!

  10. When this type of work if used for persuading the viewer’s subconscious mind, when it is repeatedly administered for superseding a viewers discernment, this has some ability for controlling a viewers opinion on specified subjects.
