I love those optical tricks, I've seen quite a few physical versions of Escher's drawing, this is one of the best. [thumbup]
[hint] Check out the shadows on the structure, both from the right hand light source and as the guy's shadow moves across it. Also note, the volume of liguid increases over time. [/hint]

If you watch the dude in the video and not the water, his constant movement is fluid with out sudden interruptions.

I think I figured it out.

It would seem the whole structure is actually lying flat on the floor. You can notice that the structure is thickest at the start and thinnest at the end and you can actually see that the water is falling, not rising.

This became more apparent to me when the water reached the end where it was flat, the water slowed, more water flowing down helped push it along.

The wooden poles are simply positioned so that it gives the effect that the structure is standing, and the camera position also helped with this. I'm sure moving the camera would give it away. Also some of the wooden poles standing point would conflict with an actual standing structure.

I'm still working out how the water recycles however, perhaps a pump?
