This study focused on anamorphic images on different spaces. Based on that each space has distinct subject with visual hegemony and is connected with viewers in diverse ways, the meaningful relationship with anamorphic images and spaces was examined. Spaces using anamorphic images are divided into the painting space, the architectural space, and the street space. In real life, these spaces materialize into the wall, the ceiling and the floor. The visual directions of each spaces are classified with the front, the top and the bottom depending on the view's line of sight. Anamorphic images in the painting space function as the painter's hidden sign and its visual hegemony belongs to the painter. In architectural spaces, anamorphic images means the sign of God and God has its visual hegemony. Anamorphic images on the street space first appeared in modern times. The distinct character of this spaces is that the viewer literally can enter into the space. But, ironically, the viewer in the spaces becomes alienated from the space. Despite with the characteristics of street spaces, open and un-authoritarian, it reinforces the visual hegemony of the artist as a result.
