British artist James Hopkins is well-known for slyly adjusting common subjects, switching all of them right into a specific image once looked at just the appropriate angle. 'perspective sculptures' are a group of installations which use optical illusions in order to play-along with the viewer's perceptions.
"I am interested in optically adapting objects and imagery in order to create sculptural interventions, which momentarily knock the viewer’s perception off-kilter. I often slyly transform familiar objects and imagery, giving them the power of self-reflective commentary, converting them to different items and nudging them towards an ‘impossible’ state that produces a sense of amazement in those who behold them."
