Pop Japan

Do you want to be "underwater" without getting wet?

This was truly a brilliant optical illusion. This "fake" swimming pool is actually exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in the city of Kanazawa, in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. This art installation that sure had fooled every traveler of the museum was a work of artist Leandro Erlich, who was from Buenos Aires, in the country of Argentina.

The pool's bottom is actually a hollow room painted in aqua blue. The surface is laid with a clear glass, wherein a thin layer of water is actually placed.
