DSC04753, a photo by 6 8"-10 on Flickr.
I'd probably just give him indigestion anyway
This photo was taken at the Trick Art Museum in Odaiba, Tokyo. Clicking on the photo should bring you to my flickr page, where there are more photos from the trip there.
The Trick Art museum was a pretty fun little exhibit. Despite what it may look like in the photo, the artwork is completely flat. In this case, it's painted on the floor and two sides of the wall, and I'm basically sitting in the corner, but the shadows and such are painted in such a way that it gives the illusion that I'm sitting inside this lamp monster's mouth. It's not too hard to make out the corners of the floor and the wall, but it's a little more difficult to see the line where the two walls meet, and that bit on the floor really does look like it's coming up in front of my shoe, but again it's a flat painting on the floor.
They had a lot of really good pieces there. There was another room that looked like it had a mirror on one wall, but was in fact two rooms built in mirror image (down to some writing in a framed photo written backwards in one room) with a large open window frame in between. They had a couple that involve a room being painted upside down, with me laying on the floor. Flip the photo, and it looks like I'm clinging to the ceiling. This photo gives the trick away- it'll be fine once I crop it a little:
Go ahead and click to go to the flickr page, or check out the museums website (linked above). There are some fun shots there. And keep in mind, there are real 3D model bits sticking out of the pictures- everything is painted flat; benches, umbrellas, hands, all of it.
