Using [body paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonhuman-life) to disguise the subjects as [pineapples, rocks or even flower petals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany) surely leaves a lasting impression. One of the most jaw-dropping parts of Johannes Stotter's work is the video that's shown above. At first glance, the viewer truly believes they're looking at a frog. It's not until the subjects begin to move that one can discern the true nature of this one-of-a-kind amphibian. Being able to trick the senses is an incredibly powerful tool. Just another lesson to never judge a book by its cover.
