CORNER ILLUSION
A subtle optical trick gives an ordinary corner of a Berlin building an unexpected architectural presence.
A new perspective
During the refurbishment of the building, an illusionistic mural was created on its corner. The original façade appeared rather understated in this prominent position, so the renovation became an opportunity to introduce not only a fresh colour scheme but also an artistic accent.
When a wall challenges the eye
The painted architectural elements draw attention to the corner and make its geometry appear subtly different. For a moment, passers-by may wonder whether the wall really follows the lines they think they see.
Architecture and illusion
This small moment of visual uncertainty transforms the building’s presence in the street. With carefully composed perspective and painted details, the artwork turns an ordinary architectural junction into an engaging urban feature.
