It takes a while before you realize you're not really here to watch an animation—or stuck in a film strip. That's what it feels like to look into the optical illusions of artist and YouTuber Brusspup.

For his latest film, Brusspup built an ingenious homemade device that creates the illusion of movement. By sliding a sheet of stripes over them, seemingly abstract static black-and-white images of geometric stripes come to life with brilliant simplicity. For those who think that Brusspup created his images with Photoshop, postpone your judgment until after you've seen the T. Rex around 1:40. Just wait for it.
