German sculptor Tobias Rehberger and Vanezuelan op-artist Carlos Cruz-Diez were invited to paint designs over World War One dazzle ships for the 100th anniversary since the war begun.
Back then, these military dazzle ships were painted over in “dazzle camouflage” with complex patterns, glaring colors and complicated designs in order to confuse its enemy during war.
Rehberger had completely covered the HMS President 1981 vessel with confusing three-dimensional optical illusion metal pipes and contrasting geometrical colored shapes, while Cruz-Diez's ship was painted based on the Rasta-flag color of red, yellow, green, and black vertical stripes.
Watch the time-lapse video below to see how the ships' makeovers were done.
