Deviousness |
The water reflects the scene, closest to us, like a mirror; possibly some refraction/waves could have (but there is a reason I think why they aren't) been there to show the effect of water, but the work still looks effective to me. My guess the reflection was mirror-image to add to the illusion. The use of the promontory allows us to see the line of dancers amidst the sea and sky, profiling them with maximum effectiveness. For a moment I wondered if the trick is on the viewer who is just seeing this as a mirage, but it rather looks like a fantasy landscape, what happens when the human's back is turned, the boring trees and buildings can move too.
