Street artist ABOVE has created an ingenious stencil piece that will only make sense to the viewer at night.
It took nearly seven months for the artist to find the perfect spot on which to place his stencil of a breakdancer balancing on one hand—in the day, it looks like he is suspended in mid-air.
At night, however, a street lamp would shine down on a near-by street sign that then cast a shadow on the wall—when that happens, the breakdancer stencil is perfectly poised on the shadow, creating a brilliant illusion.
