Optical illusions are all over the internet, but it's rare to see them cropping up in the real world. Street artist Vile is changing that with his astonishing graffiti art, creating mind-bending pieces that are so realistic they seem to make entire walls disappear right before our eyes.

While optical illusions come in all forms – from the physiological to the cognitive – it's fascinating to get a behind-the-scenes look at how they're created. Vile's amazing artworks are a masterful example of how a blend of stylised graffiti and astonishing realism can transform a simple space into a masterpiece.
