Structures by Leandro Erlich

 Picture 1:The Furniture Lift – The Ultimate Moving Out.

This large-scale piece, called “Monte-meubles – L’ultime déménagement” (literally - The Furniture Lift – The Ultimate Moving Out), was created for the biannual Le Voyage a Nantes, an art festival which turns the entire French city into an art gallery. 

The floating room is accessible via a ladder. The gravity defying surreal installation is the work of Argentinean artist Leandro Erlich.

Picture 2: The Fake Swimming Pool.

In one of the courtyards of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, is a swimming pool framed by a limestone deck. When seen from the deck, the pool appears to be filled with deep, shimmering water. In fact, however, a layer of water only some 10 centimeters deep is suspended over transparent glass. Below the glass is an empty space with aquamarine walls that viewers can enter.

Picture 3: A Giant Mirrored Building.

 Leandro Erlich is an architect of the uncertain, Erlich creates spaces with fluid and unstable boundaries. Before one tries to make sense of his sculptures and installations, one senses the uncanny.
