I love M.C. Escher’s illusions.

What am I supposed to see when I watch the signs on the wall in the empty stairwell? They appear to be moving down as the camera pans up to following the person ascending the stairs. I do not see anything I would call a “tight shot” of the people walking up the stairs (and which stairs do you mean, anyway?).

Utilizing sets of twins to make it appear the same person is leaving and entering the shot?

Actually, I see both an older woman and a younger woman.

I think it’s funny that none of you got the joke. There was a story awhile ago about someone in that stairwell....oh NVM.

What you’re seeing is two different camera shots that are spliced together.

"The answer to that last question is that the stairwell is a failed Kickstarter. The team wanted $12000 but only raised $940 from 30 backers. Of course, the Kickstarter project wasn’t to build the stairs… it was to fake it. This was a project to build a modern myth."
