3D Sidewalk Art
Working for five days, twelve hours a day and with the help of five assistants Mueller created thisimage of an ice crevasse. When viewed from the correct angle, gives the impression of depth.
The image appeared on the East Pier in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, as part of the town's Festival of World Cultures.Passers-by help to complete the illusion by pretending the gaping hole was real.
Mueller trained a camera lens on his work surface to help him fully visualize the idea before painting in the incredible detail to give an impression of depth on the flat surface. He then used used acrylic wall paint to create the scene. The conditions were not the best as they were plagued with rain showers during the creation of this project. If it started raining before a section had dried it could all wash away, or at least need to be retouched.
