Other World, wood engraving of three blocks, 1947.
“The interior of a cube-shaped extension. Openings in the five visible walls offer a view of three different scenes. Through the upper pair one can see the ground, almost vertically downwards; the middle two are at eye level and show the horizon; through the lower pair, one looks steeply up at the stars. Each surface of this structure, which logically unites nadir, horizon and zenith, has a triple function. The rear surface in the center, for example, is a wall in relation to the horizon, a floor in relation to it the upper view and a ceiling with regard to the view of the starry sky.” ~ M.C. Escher, Grafiek en Tekeningen.
