Olivier Redon and Chloe Redon – Transparent Cube
Country: USA
Author´s description: At first glance, this cube seems to be transparent and floating in mid-air but that perception doesn’t reflect its true physical structure. What you’re experiencing is a carefully crafted optical illusion. The cube consists of two distinct components:
The rear section (pink) is anamorphic intentionally distorted so that, when viewed from a specific
angle, your brain interprets it as a normal shape seen from the front.
The front section (a black frame) uses forced perspective to enhance the illusion of depth and
transparency.
Together, these contrasting visual cues one based on anamorphic distortion, the other on forced
perspective combine to produce a powerful illusion. The brain flips between seeing concavity and
convexity, transparency and solidity, creating a mesmerizing visual paradox.
