Anish Kapoor, a Mumbai born sculpture and the winner of the Turner prize in 1991, is this year’s guest artistic director at the Brighton Festival. His much loved C-Curve (installed on the South Downs for the Brighton Festival), i.e. a concave mirror that creates mysterious landscapes, is making passerby’s click for inverted images.

When visitors look at it from one side all appears normal but when they walk around to the other they appear upside down because it is a concave mirror.

The sculpture’s curved surface bends reflected light towards a focal point very close to the mirror.

Those examining it from further afield will see an inverted reflection.
