What would you do if you saw a person at the bottom of the pool? Surely you would have thought that someone was drowning and rushed into the water without hesitation. But be careful! This is another Leandro Erlich trick, and what you think is a pool is not really a pool at all.
An unusual art installation in the form of a pool is located in the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, in the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art.
At first glance, you get the impression that you are standing on the edge of the pool and looking at people moving under the water, where the effect of water is created with the help of special glass. But after passing underground, you find yourself in another room with a transparent plexiglass ceiling, where you can now "from under the water" observe the same surprised visitors as you were before, looking down at you with a puzzled and bewildered look.
Argentinean Leandro Erlich creates art that can turn our understanding of what reality is. He is interested in what we see, the spaces that we occupy, and the contexts in which we find ourselves every day.
Erlich builds installations or physical worlds that the beholder enter and participate in. He uses whatever materials are needed, including mirrors and projections, to reproduce forms of reality.

Pool-non-pool. Fake Swimming Pool art project by Leandro Erlich
Look into the pool and see people in it walking freely along the bottom, laughing, talking, breathing, jumping and even dancing - something from the realm of fantasy.
