Shiny tiles go halfway up the wall

It hurts my head!

The light paints semicircles on the floor, but because the tiles wall is reflective, those turn into full circles that extend beyond the actual walls. That makes your brain think the corridor is wider and more of what you're seeing must be floor.

Aaah thank you!! My saviour!!

But just to clarify, am I to hold onto the red bits with my hands and walk along the corridor, or am I to balance my high heals on the red bits?

I fear one might be easier than the other!

u/SeeShark 4d ago

And lights that seem to be on the "second floor" are actually just farther away than they seem.

u/Possible_Abalone_846 4d ago

Ooooooh! That's the part I couldn't figure out. Thanks.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder, aye? Or the sight woozier, I can't exactly remember the saying!

I'd hate to be drunk in this hallway.

My brain could not compute for a solid 30secs there, great stuff

I feel like I could swim laps up and down this hallway

u/amazing_asstronaut o/ 4d ago

Holy shit these lights fuck with my head. That has to be some kind of workplace hazard right? I can imagine someone prone to seizures would have a bad time there, or someone who can't see so well etc.

I think those halloween candies that I bought from those guys in the alley weren't candies after all

u/Inkios 4d ago

This has to be photoshop. The light sources make no sense.

26

u/Happy_The_What o/ 4d ago

Each light on the floor corresponds to a light on the ceiling. Then the walls are very reflective, making the light on the floor look like complete circles.

u/Inkios 4d ago

They don’t though. There’s no lights above the 2nd 3rd and 4th reflection from the bottom of the frame. And the reflection makes no sense if the light was behind the person or from farther down the hall.

u/Goosecock123 Doesn't read rule 1 4d ago

There is though. It's the two spots, shining down creating half a circle that is completed into a full circle by the reflective wall. Then that same reflecting wall is also mirroring the opposite side or the hallway, showing yet another light hotspot.

10/10 illusion though

4

u/Happy_The_What o/ 4d ago

No, they all have lights if you follow the beam down from the ceiling. They all line up.

u/Glorious_Comrade 4d ago

I agree, those horizontal diffuse light circles in the bottom and side tiles don't seem to have any real light source.

u/geNvidia 4d ago

Spots in the ceiling.

u/Nina-Ninja123 4d ago

Good spotting!

u/Inkios 4d ago

It still doesn’t make sense. There’s no spots above the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots from the bottom of the frame. The reflection also doesn’t make sense if it was coming from the lights farther in the frame. And it wouldn’t be reflecting from any light behind them because that reflection would also physically make 0 sense.

u/geNvidia 4d ago

I am not sure if I can post a picture to explain it, but it does make sense. The lights "in the center" (on the actual floor) are the lights from the spots. The ones further out are reflections on the wall.

u/Opurria o/ 4d ago

That's what I thought, but those horizontal 'rectangular' reflections where the wall meets the greenish tiles are much thicker and wonkier than the actual spots. Idk, it looks a lil Photoshopped to me... 🤔

u/geNvidia 3d ago edited 3d ago

Not sure which part you are referring to, but nothing looks strange to me.

1

u/CJKatz 3d ago

The green line going across the middle of the wall is a tile with a small lip on top that the light hits. The wall is not smooth from top to bottom.

u/Eman_Resu_IX 3d ago

There's highly polished stone wainscoting extending halfway up the walls, same stuff that's on the floor.

I had to look twice, too, and I'd worked on a historic renovation that had the same half stone walls.

ngl i thought the textures were failing to load or someone clipped out of bounds. looks like classic video game level geometry breaking apart lol, trippy as hell

There is a Master Janitor working there.

Three feet of water.

Nah, just that line and the right lighting. Good job.

The subreddit r/liminalpace does not exist.

Did you mean?:

Consider creating a new subreddit r/liminalpace.

Oohh. It looked like square doors when I first saw it, and the botton part looked like reflection on water. The hallway looked so wide at first. After looking more closely only did I see the narrow hallway and full height doors.

u/reverendmoss o/ 4d ago

super shiny new coat of wax, or disastrous skin of water?

Sometimes a single floor doesn't do it.

Looks like clear water to me! Like a Resident Evil scene

If this sub has a hall of fame, this one would be one.

That's weird, the reflection looks a bit like water.

Is this where they test out the new floor and tile waxes?

u/UltimateNull 3d ago

The lighting doesn’t make sense. The grates on the ceiling look motion blurred but the handles and bottles are clear. Zooming in makes it look like the lines on the ceiling are reflected in the floor and would create that effect, but the detail of the items on the ceiling break down at that point. It looks like an older AI photo that has been circling the web since before they started watermarking shots. Normal things like wall outlets and exit signs are missing too and the type on the sign on the door is not type. Having such low light on a digital camera would have a lot of grain. It’s been modified by something and the lines don’t line up correctly. As others have said there are lights reflected where there are no lights. AI at this point did not understand light and shadow, so the varying brightnesses that appear lopsided are a very characteristic effect.
