Leandro Erlich designed this ‘pool’ especially for Voorlinden. At first sight, it seems like a real swimming pool – the pool blue on the walls, the typical lamps and even a real ladder on which visitors seem to be able to descend. Yet you can get in fully clothed and walk on the bottom without getting wet.

Leandro frequently plays with the spaces and perspectives. He transforms everyday occurrences into absurd situations, creating experiences that make the viewer think about the reality around them. The work only really functions in its use by the public. Without people, according to the artist, the work is not complete.
