A tribute to the artist Escher

How to explain impossible objects to children?

Synopsis

An endless journey.

Commentary: penrose

What if we inhabited impossible objects?
A very amusing homage to Maurits Cornelis Escher, his tricks of perspective and impossible constructions, notably "Ascent and Descent" (1960) in which the monks of the castle go up and down stairs in infinite loops, or the waterfall in the painting "Perpetual Motion" (1961).
