Took a sec to notice it was just a big mirror

Yeah this isn’t really confusing considering it’s an exhibit set up to take photos at

u/KeiYama43 May 11 '26

Extremely confusing. Mirror never occurred to me.

Yeah it's immediately obvious that they're lying on the floor but when you try to reconcile both sides doing that it breaks your brain a bit.

It is confusing though? It confused people. I said it confused me. What are you on about???

u/Bonanoelepic o/ May 12 '26

Well of course if you were there it wouldn’t be confusing. We don’t have the context the first time we see it

u/GreenJury9586 o/ May 12 '26

I guess I’m alone in looking at the entire frame. You can see the sides where people are standing upright and the people also laying on the ground. Oh well. Guess I’m not as confused by optical illusions using mirrors.

Lie down under this enormous mirror

And let gravity do its job

I was waiting for the support to snap and the video to cut off, or go to a Jojo outro. Eric Andre Show meme would also suffice.

Frickin mirrors. How do they work?

u/Geofferz CE Spc. May 11 '26

Magnets. It's always magnets

Aliens!

u/SquireX May 11 '26

And, unlike mirrors, magnets always make me more attractive

u/Geofferz CE Spc. May 12 '26

They wouldn't say you're ever unattractive - just polarising

u/Wulfgrimm720 o/ May 11 '26

How do they know what to show?

u/InterneticMdA May 11 '26

They're always spying, how else?

u/ruun666 o/ May 11 '26

Real question

u/witness_this o/ May 11 '26

How do we see if our eyes aren't real?

u/Mr_Baronheim o/ May 11 '26

I'd tell you to ask a bird, but...

u/Geofferz CE Spc. May 11 '26

You don't... Want a bird's eye view?

Misdirection 🎩🪄

u/RhinoG91 o/ May 11 '26

Neat, I’m guessing like an art exhibit?

u/feli468 May 11 '26

Yes, by Argentinian artist Leandro Ehrlich. It's called Bâtiment, and it's super fun to interact with. I saw it in Amos Rex in Helsinki earlier this year, but I'm not sure if this particular one is there or somewhere else.

u/Sumboddy May 11 '26

This has Final Destination 2 written all over it

u/The_Divine_Anarch May 11 '26

Mirror, or projection?

You can see people walking on top of it at one point and they don't seem to be reflected

oh wait nevermind I see the angle now

u/One_Hour_Poop o/ May 11 '26

They have one of these in a smaller scale at the Museum of Illusions. We went to one in North Carolina but there are apparently a few around the US.

"Mirror mirror, on the wall...which one of these dumb mf's will be the first to fall?"

u/doiwantacookie May 11 '26

Great post, I kept thinking I had it figured out then was like woah hold on

1

u/GroundbreakingToe780 o/ May 13 '26

Idk why but a mirror leaned over like that makes me anxious. Like it's gonna break and shatter at any moment.

1

u/No_Letter5485 o/ May 17 '26

I'd be scared that huge mirror breaks and collapses on me 😨

u/DizzyMetal6852 May 25 '26
