titled “Staircase to Heaven” the sculpture is so deceptive,
South
African artist Strijdom
van der Merwe partnered with Taiwanese artist Chou Sheng-hsien to create the sculpture
for the Nanhui
Art Project in Taiwan, which commissioned 14 public works to be
installed throughout Taitung County,
when
viewed straight on, the towering optical illusion appears to ascend into the
sky at an incline,
but the 4.5 metre art work is actually flat!
built
with steel square tubing that weighs about 240 kilograms, “Staircase to Heaven”
is modelled after van der Merwe’s 2016 project, “Sculptures on the Cliff.” For
more of the artist’s works check
out his site, even knowing it is flat, I still think it is so neat.
