Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of displaying an artwork, comprising the steps of: i) providing an artwork comprising an image, real or virtual; ii) dividing and separating the image into a plurality of segments; iii) arranging the plurality of segments in parallel planes, while keeping the segments oriented in their respective original positions within the image; iv) viewing the plurality of segments from one or more viewpoints; and v) changing the viewpoint to a predetermined angle such that the segments reveal a complete image with a surprising perception of depth.
