Mind-Bending Illusion Makes A Pile Of Trash Look Like A Portrait

What may look like a portrait of a man at first glance, is actually a pile of trash precisely put together to deceive the viewer.

Bernard Pras is the artist who used forced perspective to create this impressive optical illusion. The portrait made out of everyday objects depicts Ferdinand Cheval, a French postman, who’s well-known for spending 33 years building Le Palais Idéal in France.

The longer you follow the camera man in the video, the more this installation looks perplexing.
