The set was called _Cercle et suite d’éclats_. But what I recon interests you the most, is how all of this was turned into practice. Well, the pattern was [projected on the town](http://www.moillusions.com/2006/05/3d-painted-builidings-arts-art.html) from the vantage point, and then traced and painted. If you [shoot a photo](http://www.moillusions.com/2007/04/cardiff-bay-baragge-illusion-by-felice.html) from the same spot in daylight, you’ll quickly realize how the town looks flat – almost [like a postcard](http://www.moillusions.com/2007/04/perspective-postcards-optical-illusion.html). The interesting part is how he got the whole town to approve this? Don’t miss the [panoramic view](http://www.varini.org/08agra/dos2009/004-agr-09.html) on Varini’s website.
