Fake Swimming Pool

Fake Swimming Pool:

 

Designed in 2004

by Buenos Aires artist Leandro Erlich.

"In one of the courtyards of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa,

is a swimming pool framed by a limestone deck.

When seen from the deck, the pool appears to be filled with deep, shimmering water.

In fact, however, a layer of water only some 10 centimeters deep is suspended over transparent glass.

Below the glass is an empty space with aquamarine walls that viewers can enter."
