Pepper's Ghost

pg.jpgpp01.jpg

Pepper’s Ghost is a classic illusion technique developed in the 19th century that uses angled glass or transparent plastic to make objects or people appear ghostlike within a physical space. By reflecting a hidden subject into the viewer’s line of sight, it creates the impression of floating or disappearing figures, blending reality and illusion. Originally popular in Victorian theater, Pepper’s Ghost is still used today in exhibitions, concerts, and installations, and has become an important reference for artists exploring perception, projection, and mixed reality.
