Artistul suedez Erik Johansson a creat în iunie 2011 o iluzie optică urbană în Piața Sergel din inima orașului Stockholm, proiect pe care l-a numit Mind your step. Dimensiunile acestuia, 32 x 18 metri, i-a dus pe mulți pietoni în eroare, aceștia alegând să ocolească acea „groapă” în pământ decât să cadă în ea 😀

I’ve been doing creative retouch and surreal montages for a few years now, but I’ve always been quite fascinated by perspective illusions. I had the idea of doing something real, more like an installation. My idea was to put a photo in an environment and actually trick people that it would be 3-dimensional. Street illusions isn’t something new, but I wanted to try to make it as a photo instead of drawing to see if I could make it look even more real. Photography is my medium and I wanted it to look as realistic as possible, just like my photos.
