Tunnelvision, Wall painting on AgFirst Farm Credit Bank in Columbia, US

Tunnelvision is a 50 ft by 75 ft trompe-l'œil painting by Blue Sky on a building in Columbia, South Carolina. It shows a tunnel at the size of a real road tunnel, its opening framed by jagged gray, brown and black rock; inside, a row of small white lights runs along the ceiling toward a sunset over water. A green sign across the opening reads "CLEARANCE 13' 6\"".

Tunnelvision was painted by the artist Blue Sky on a building in Columbia, South Carolina. The sources give no date for the work and record no history beyond its creation; they describe only its size, 50 by 75 feet (15.2 by 22.9 metres), and its trompe-l'œil tunnel opening, painted at the size of a real road tunnel.

Tunnelvision is a trompe-l'œil work by Blue Sky on a building in Columbia, South Carolina, sized 50 by 75 feet. The painted tunnel opening is shown at the scale of a real road tunnel, and the letters "MFA" and "ST" appear near the top left of the facade. The green clearance sign reading "CLEARANCE 13' 6\"" is part of the painted scene.

The painting sits on a parking lot, so it can be viewed on foot or from a car passing by. The tunnel opening is painted at the size of a real road tunnel, and the green clearance sign reading 13' 6" marks its scale. Despite the realistic look, no accident has been recorded at the site.

Despite its realistic look and its position facing a parking lot, the German Wikipedia notes that no accident had been recorded at the painted tunnel. The mural measures 15.2 by 22.9 metres, and the painted opening is scaled to a real road tunnel.
