Rik Andreae pointed me to Leandro Erlich’s “Swimming Pool” installation which can be found at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art (in Kanazawa, Japan). I believe you remember previous Japanese girls with small heads illusion. Also we had a performer that done pretty similar installation. His name is Philippe Ramette. I think that the below photo is done with realistic statues instead performers, but am not sure. Anyone has more info?

the commment by waggers on september 30, at 8:46 Am is right!!!!
i think they secured a plexi glass screen to the surface of the pool, drained it, poured a layer of water onto the screen and had the people crawl into the pool
*gaaaasp* i cant believe you guys cant see it!!! the picture was taken sideways up to an aquariam with a scuba diver in it
two photographs taken, one under water, and one with the pool empty and the people in it. the two are then merged using photoshop.
They put a thick block of ice and the pool is empty!
How the hell are they…
