Impossible Planes
|
In this category you'll find images where different planes are in contradiction (the dimensional
kind, not the flying ones). Have a look at this drawing. The left drawing is the normal situation :
the upper and lower side are nicely in 1 plane. The right drawing is different however : the upper
side is still nice and possible, but the right column has moved. The lower side now has a completely
different orientation. By the way, if you imagine the right column has only become shorter and is
floating mid-air, it can be possible.
