Leandro Erlich – Swimming Pool

22 Jul

Swimming Pool – A fine installation from Argentine artist Leandro Erlich.

Leandro’s work usually centres around architecture such as a swimming pool, a window, rooms etc and the Swimming Pool is a great example of what can be possible and bending the perceptions of the viewer. Leandro’s almost illusion-like pieces allow the viewer to get involved with project (in this case, walk underneath the pool).

His work looks normal at first but once you have a closer look, things are not as they seem.

The Swimming Pool was shown at the Venice Biennale (2001) and its current place of residence is a the Kanazawa museum in Japan.
