A real swimming pool? An illusion?
Walking in a swimming pool without getting wet? That is possible in Swimming Pool (2016) by Leandro Erlich. This artwork looks like a real swimming pool, with the recognizable swimming pool blue and the typical lamps in the basin. Leandro often plays with optical illusions. He transforms everyday architectural spaces into absurd situations. Leandro wants to create an experience that encourages reflection on the reality around you. The work only really functions through the presence of others. Without an audience, the work is not complete, according to the artist.
