Argentine artist Leandro Erlich has created an installation entitled Swimming Pool. Those standing by the sides of the pool see fully clothed people walking around beneath the water without coming up for air. The "pool" is actually a room with lower level access. A surface of laminated glass and water divide the two levels, while creating an illusion of a pool full of water. This exhibition was recently presented at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in New York and is a permanent installation at the 21st Century Museum of Art Kanazawa, Japan. Other works by the artist also use familiar places such as elevators, a staircase, window and ladder, hallways and more to create surreal experiences. Visit his webiste at: www.leandroerlich.com.ar.
