Anamorphosis trail

Then plan a trip to Narbonne, Saint-Pierre-la-mer, Port-La Nouvelle, Le Somail and many more, to turn your imagination into reality!

All just 1h30 far from Toulouse!

An Ana... what?

An anamorphosis

An anamorphosis is a deliberately distorted image which, when viewed from a specific angle, reveals itself to be... in 3D! So you need to position yourself correctly to take the photo, but don't worry, we've thought of where to put your feet.

Who are the artists

Sweo and Nikita

Based in Montpellier, Sweo and Nikita are a couple of self-taught painters. Fascinated by drawing, and then by the effervescence of hip-hop culture in the 90s, they started practising spray-painting and graffiti very early on. Now as accomplished artists, Nikita and Sweo combine their techniques to produce works in 3D anamorphosis, in which they have become internationally renowned specialists.
