Swim in the pool for 8 seconds while strolling through it — The Japanese exhibition “The Swimming Pool”

Text by: Olivia

You can wear clothes in the 8-second water? N? And still maintain a clear shape? Is that the camera effect? Isn’t it amazing? Originally posted by a visitor to HowToTrip...

Looking down from the pool surface also creates the illusion of being underwater for 8 seconds. “The Swimming Pool” is a classic work by Argentine artist Leandro Erlich. In fact, it’s just 10 cm of water held in a sheet of glass that creates this multi-angle visual effect resembling an underwater scene.

Performing various actions here can add fun to your photos. Jumping seems to be a particularly popular move.

You can also use various special blending effects in mobile apps to create even more interesting images.

Kanazawa The 21st Century Museum is famous for its modern and playful exhibits — even those who aren’t usually into art will find it a lot of fun.
