Using Google Street View, photographer Alan Knox has captured a series of images that look like an optical illusion.
In his project “Schengland”, Knox uses the printed scenes and puts them into real life streets. The images are of the specific piece of land, but are obviously in a different condition than they are in real life. This looks like an optical illusion from far and close.
“‘Schengland’ explores the role of internet imagery in documenting the transformation of border controls across the European project by appropriating Google Street View images from the eastern Schengen border and installing them on the Anglo-Scots border, where debates on European integration vs. increased regional sovereignty arose in political discourse during the past year. Such a process seeks to question the constantly shifting status of internal and international borders in Europe.” his statement says.
