Cercle et suite d’éclats

...in Cercle et suite d’éclats, Varini has taken on the challenge of working at the scale of the village, superimposing perfect circles on the town of Vercorin in the Swiss Alps. From inside the village, the graphic is fragmented and impossible to read, but from a nearby vantage point, the lines come together to form a series of rings.
Felice Varini has taken a town in the Swiss Alps and somehow convinced them to let him paint a giant optical illusion. I love this because everyone has played along. I love this because it is executed so well. I love it for its simplicity. What a great opportunity for everyone to share in a moment together.
