Impossible Illusions Made Possible

Impossible illusions are a type of optical illusions that cannot possibly exist. These figures seem plausible at first sight, but after viewing it for a few seconds the impossibility becomes apparent. However, with clever design it’s possible to create objects that look impossible when viewed from the correct angle.

Mutating Vegetables

German photographer Uli Westphal likes to photograph vegetables, but not the usual kind. His work the Mutato-Archive presents a collection of non-standard fruits, roots and vegetables, that displays a dazzling variety of forms, colors and exotic shapes. Uli Westphal writes

The complete absence of botanical anomalies in our supermarkets has caused us to regard the consistency of produce presented there as natural. Produce has become a highly designed, monotonous product. We have forgotten, and in many cases never experienced, the way fruits, roots, and vegetables can actually look. The Mutato-Project serves to document, preserve and promote these last survivors of biological variety.

His specimens are picked up from Berlin’s Farmer Market.

Spank me!

What is common between a ketchup bottle and a girl? Let me tell you - both have bottoms, one you need to spank and the other you want to spank. Putting two of them together, it seems like an adult toy store has started advertising on the bottom of ketchup bottles, provided these pictures are real. Cool idea!
