On a brick wall near the
Zaha Hadid Design Gallery in London's Clerkenwell district, tile and mosaic company
Domus has crafted a likeness of Dame Zaha Hadid. But there is a trick to the installation by artist Greg Shapter—it is a three-dimensional, one-point-perspective piece that is best seen from an "X" stenciled onto the sidewalk nearby. As Shapter puts it: "You have to make an effort to find the best place to stand and are rewarded when you have found it."
