Peeta's Anamorphic Mural Transforms Porrentruy Building
Italian artist Peeta, born Manuel Di Rita, has created an anamorphic mural on a residential building in Porrentruy, Switzerland. The work, supported by POPA Festival, Popa Museum, and Art From Street, distorts the facade's volume to appear three-dimensional. Peeta, now based in the Netherlands, has explored sculptural lettering since 1993, blending graffiti writing with optical illusion.
