Residents of Liverpool, England, must have been very surprised when they discovered one fine evening last month that an unusual transparent cistern filled with graceful marine life was located under an iron roller shutter in an old abandoned building. What was once a garage has now become a large glowing aquarium filled with jellyfish floating peacefully in the blue water.

This secret magic window, which only opens at night, is in fact a specific art installation from the creative duo Walter hugo & zoniel.

“As conceived by the authors, the aquarium should create a sense of dissonance among local residents from the presence in an ordinary abandoned building of such an unusual form of life for this place,” explains the representative Gazelli Art House - a gallery in London, which not only support the project, but also broadcast what is happening in a transparent cistern on their monitors. The viewable projection, both inside the gallery and from the street in Liverpool, creates a virtual corridor between the two cities.

The unusual installation can be seen until July 27, 2014 at 53 High Park Street in Liverpool.
