Excerpt from the information booklet: "One of the things one notices with the anamorphic drawings is that, though the initial drawing does not move (in this case the saucer) it changes enormously in the mirror (in this case the cup), depending on how close you are to the mirror, and the angle of looking. So even though the drawing is static, it becomes a moving image as one drinks the coffee." - William Kentridge
