A Zoetrope is constructed by attaching 60 phases of an object in metamorphosis to a rotating wheel.
The ''animation'' is ''frozen'' in space via synchronized stroboscopic lighting. The metamorphosis
is a torus turning ''inside-out'' at 3 points on its surface.
Costa's genus 1, three-ended minimal surface is topologically equivalent to a simple torus.
