By now, I’m sure you can figure out how this swimming pool illusion works. It’s not a pool at all, but rather a big empty space. The inside of the swimming pool is painted blue and has drains, just like a real swimming pool. Water is suspended on to of the empty space with a piece of glass, giving it the illusion of a real swimming pool when viewed from the top.

This swimming pool illusion is on display at the 21st Century Art Museum in Kanazawa, Japan. A similar swimming pool illusion has also been installed at the PS1 Art Center in New York City.
