This stencil street art piece in London, England by ABOVE only appears perfectly at a specific time at night. The street artist spent seven months researching the perfect place in the British city to install his break dancer. When the light from a local lamp post hits the wall just right, the b-boy appears to be beautifully balanced on the shadow of a nearby street sign. The rest of the time, the illusion isn't visible and he simply floats off the ground.
The dancer is wearing a red jeans, a red hooded sweatshirt and green tee shirt. He can be seen reaching back to touch his heel. This stencil street artwork is sure to have you head over heels as well.
