its an awesome illusion. facial features of previous picture are used as an anchor for perceiving the next, e.g. big eyes on first face will make eyes of the next appear smaller, same goes with shape, color etc.
Your eyes dont see shit in large spaces all around your main point of focus, but your brain makes up for it by using previous information and all that he can see, so tons of faces get mixed up where your eyes can't really see.
That's true, I guess that's why a very good technique for spotting something (like, say, a person approaching) is to take quick looks at different points instead of focusing on a single point. Feels sort of weird at first, but it tends to increase your awareness a lot when you try it.
So yeah, the mystery is solved but that gif is still extremely trippy. I feel a bit high after watching a few cycles, bet it'd be even worse if the first frame didn't let you catch your breath for a moment.
