The Fake Pool was created by Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich, who is known for his illusion-like installations. His pool has been featured in various places around the world and is now getting a permanent home in New York at the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center.

The concept is really incredible and it has been very popular with the public. The Fake Pool is amazing because it looks like fully dressed people are having a conversation at the bottom of a deep and watery pool!
