Elevator Floor Illusion

Elevator Floor Illusion

Going into this elevator would certainly makes one nervous. A sign at the entrance cautions the people that goes in about work in progress. A more detailed look shows that the floor has been painted with an illusion that there is no floor. 3 more pics after the jump.

      La ilusión del ascensor sin suelo…

      El suelo de este ascensor está pintado para dar la impresión de que no hay suelo, y ciertamente lo consiguen. Solo hay que ver al que entra sentandose sobre el posamanos para darse cuenta de que no está muy tranquilo… :D…

      Matt Says:

      Why is it that the second photograph (just the shaft image) is such a different proportion of wall to abyss? Has it been distorted… or is that the original image that a photoshopped elevator picture was later created from? My guess is the latter. …but a cool concept nontheless.

Such as you will find with the Elevator Floor Illusion, where the floor of an elevator has been painted in such a way to look like the floor is missing and allowing you to see down the elevator shaft.

      Ever heard of conceptual art? Man, some of you are dense.

      “Why is it that the second photograph (just the shaft image) is such a different proportion of wall to abyss?”

      Because in order for the illusion to look real, the floor image would have to be stretched lengthwise. It’s called foreshortening.

      Oh, and to all the people who wrote “elavator;” It’s a fucking elevator. It elevates you. Learn to spell.
