A mesmerizing installation is currently being displayed in the CANADA Gallery in New York City that features an upside-down room that gives the illusion of shifted gravity. To create this magic trick, [Samara Golden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samara-1) glued tables and chairs of differently designed rooms to each wall of the gallery space.

Upon walking into the upside-down room, people immediately lose their sense of space and balance. The different walls feature designs of an old-school country restaurant, a wedding reception, a bachelor's pad and a hotel lobby. Not only do the table-dangling walls make this space look confusing, but the differing designs mimic a trippy hallucination.

Each wall is decorated ornately down the carpet, center pieces and cutlery; however, there are purposeful imperfections as well to provide a reality check. The seamed mirrors and the thick lacquer holding the knives and forks down allow viewers to transition in and out of the [optical illusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical).
