Anamorphosis is a distorted projection or perspective requiring the viewer to occupy a specific vantage point, use special devices or both to view a recognizable image. Some of the media it is used in are painting, photography, sculpture and installation, toys, and film special effects.

The word 'anamorphosis' is derived from the Greek prefix 'ana‑', meaning 'back' or 'again', and the word 'morphe', meaning 'shape' or 'form'. It has been used by artists to disguise caricatures, erotic & optical illusions, and other furtive images from a casual viewer, while revealing an undistorted image to the trained eye. The first examples were largely religious themes. Leonardo da Vinci used this process in some of his best works.
