Impossible anaglyphs; about things one can see but that doesn't exist.
Anaglyph images are made up of two color layers, superimposed, to produce a stereoscopic 3D effect, when viewed w
ith 2 color glasses (each lens a chromatically opposite color, usually red and cyan). In the brain the visual cortex joins the image it receives from each eye into a perception of a three dimensional composition.
