If you stare in the centre of the image, let your eyes go blurry, dont blink and kind of relax them for around 2 minutes than a 3D image will pop out.

It really does work, took me a while but I saw it.

Photography to Optical Effects

For the final month of the year of optics its a month of optical effects.

Optical effects or visual illusions are characterized by visually perceived images that differ from the objective reality of the object. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception of the object that does not equal the original object

Shape, pattern, position, colour and depth are a few of the properties involved in creating such illusions and effects.

Its that time

Night vision

Photography: Stills from Julian Carrion 10.21-23 What is illuminated seems to be true and ideal, but when looking in dimness the authentic truth may be revealed. 10.21-23 explores an imaginary city immersed in total darkness, a place where humankind is obliged to live in obscurity, where exposure to radiation and sunlight is fatal. It is a land where the human eye has developed the capacity to see through the darkness. The lack of illumination has forced the foundation of new strategies to explore the world, where not long before visual memory was the element that gave credibility to human experience. Behind the video with the same name lies a sociological study, exploring the artificial darknesses of the first world’s enclosed spaces and weighing the triviality of our daily life. In 10.21-23, observation in obscurity opens unknown and hidden doors.

The project continues its investigation of darkness and reality through a series of Barely illuminated night-landscapes of New York City, where the legendary and picturesque nocturnal horizon is devoid of its radiant gloom. The images expose the metropolis submerged in shadows, consumed by a sudden blackout. The city appears static and opaque, like a contemporary archaeology of corporate stardoms, all equally exposed by a lack of illumination.
