After The Last Supper, by Devorah Sperber 2005 by Neilheeney on Flickr.

A special exhibit at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, Wonder World brings together thirty-three contemporary works by established, mid-career, and emerging artists from Crystal Bridges’ collection in a special exhibition organized around the themes of perception, representation, illusion, nature, and history.
Description: A life sized (29’ w) rendering of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper constructed from 20,736 spools of thread. When seen with the aid of optical devices, the spools of thread coalesce into realistic images of Christ and his disciples.
The thread spool columns are strung onto aluminum ball chain and hang to form an open-ended trapezoid. Like the original mural, the Christ figure’s right eye is centered and serves as the single vanishing point. The two 45 degree angles of the trapezoid reference the site-specific nature of the original mural (the illusion of being an extension of the interior architecture).
When seen with the naked eye, the spools of thread appear as an abstract arrangement of multi-colored blocks/3D pixels, further abstracted by the fact that The Last Supper imagery is upside down and backwards. The clear acrylic viewing spheres rotate the imagery 180 degrees back to the correct orientation and condense the individual pixels/spools of thread into recognizable images. In addition, each sphere offers a different monocular view of the work, accentuating the illusion of 3 dimension as it exists in flat paintings. Leonardo da Vinci understood that the illusion of 3D in paintings was derived from monocular, not binocular, vision.
The original mural is highly symmetrical, with the right eye of the Christ figure as the single, centered vanishing point, from which all compositional elements project. In this installation, the vanishing point, also Christ’s right eye is slightly lower than eye level. Because the spheres rotate the imagery 180 degrees, viewers have the illusion of looking up at the image, replicating the orientation of viewers to the original mural.
