Town-Sized Illusion

Artist Felice Varini’s installation in the town of Vercorin in the Swiss Alps is called Cercle et suite d’eclats. Varini projected the pattern onto the town from one angle, then painted over the projections, making the already kind of awesome town all circley-looking and therefore twice as awesome. posted on October 29, 2009 at 1:14pm EDT
