Re: Teun Hocks

The photos seem to all be taken in such a way that they twist our perception and fool us into thinking we see something that isn't actually there. Most of them have painted backdrops that were designed to make it look like the person standing there is actually in the scene. Some of them replace expected objects with others to fool the eye - for example, the ticket booth glass has been replaced with a mirror so it looks like there are two of him there, and the "hole" in the floor is actually just a black circle laid on the ground. For the mouse hole and cat, the hole is sized to fit him, and the shadow of a cat is just projected on the wall. All the photos use similar tricks. My personal favorite is the one where he is sticking his head through the painting, since the trick was camouflaged so well.
