2024 Second prize
Duška Milosavljević – Dollusion
Country: Serbia
Author´s description: Dollusion is an illusion of visual modality, a novel variant of forced perspective. We can see a girl standing in a doll box. One might think that she is trapped in a life-size doll box. However, what confuses the viewers is the young man who approaches the box not only from the sides but also from the back. How is this possible? The secret is in the mirror placed on the front side of the box in which we see the reflection of the girl standing in the opposite corner of the room. To make the illusion complete, a large picture imitating the inside of the box is placed behind the girl’s back. And to spice it up, the man drops a small flower behind the mirror, and an identical large flower is passed to the girl from above by the third person not visible to the viewer. “Dollusion“ is pretty confusing at first when the brain believes what it sees, right?
