Location:PS1 Art Center in New York, USA

Designed by: Leandro Erlich
Year of installation : 2008




Design and concept of the swimming pool:



  •  Leandro Erlich, the designer is from Argentina.
  • A layer of water with 10 centimeters deep is levied over transparent glass. Beneath glass is an empty space where people can get into.
  • The deck of the swimming pool is built with limestone and a flickering like water shade.
  • There is a ladder where people get into the swimming pool to take pictures which looks like they are really having a swim underwater but the fact is it's just a fictitious world where nothing is real.
  • Spectators outside the pool gets fooled seeing the people taking a swim and breathing in easily without having a problem.
  • People get into the pool for the sake of having snaps while reading newspaper and eating mostly :)




Warning : Don't dive into the pool. You know why? :P
