Lava Burst

Posted by polypushroom - Oct 8, 2009



What would happen if the world suddenly split apart? To be honest, you've probably noticed the car "flying" through the crevasse at the end of the street. Nevertheless, it's a fantastic work of art.

"Street artists" are generally not your typical respected fare, although with works like these, they are rapidly gaining recognition. This particular creation, dubbed "Lava Burst", by Edgar Mueller, is self explanatory. However, if one were to walk from the other end of the street, the whole illusion would fail. Painstakingly enough, Mueller must imagine (with the aid of a camera and other tools) the whole illusion before beginning painting, itself a difficult task. The result is a creative, and deceptive image in the middle of a quiet German town.
