A Shakespere "Moving Gaze" or "Hollow Head" Optical Illusion.

A Shakespere "Moving Gaze" or "Hollow Head" Optical Illusion. Vacuum-formed plastic moulding, the head appears to change the direction of gaze when viewed from different angles and is especially effective when rotated. From a hand-painted, limited edition of 10. Designed by David Burder and Bryan Parkes. Presented in a basic cardboard frame approx 33cm x 44cm. Can be removed if full 360 degree effect required.

An unpainted example of the Einstein version was discussed on "QI" from the BBC in 2011. UK TV licence holders can see it at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00kbttw
