The pool is almost empty.

Leandro Erlich’s Swimming Pool creates the illusion of people standing underwater — but only a thin layer of real water sits above a transparent glass surface.

Below it, visitors walk through a dry chamber, while people above see them as if they are submerged.

The work turns a simple architectural element into a visual trick: Surface becomes depth, and the ordinary becomes impossible.

"One of the most impressive features of the castle is the double helix staircase that may have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci when he traveled to France at the request of King Francois I. Decorated with ornamental carvings, it's made of two concentric spiral staircases that wind around a central column. ...Extending from the first to the sixth floor, two people can take a different flight of stairs and see each other through the openings but never meet."

It's like something out of Escher!
