Reutersvärd pioneered impossible figures and paradoxical geometric constructions that directly parallel Escher's exploration of spaces that cannot exist in physical reality. His systematic investigation of optical illusions and impossible architectural forms shares the same intellectual rigor and spatial impossibility central to Other World.

Del Prete creates highly detailed illusionistic drawings featuring impossible spaces and ambiguous interior and exterior environments that collapse conventional perspective in ways nearly identical to this Escher piece. His work shares the same meticulous line work and the deliberate confusion of spatial boundaries that defines Other World.
