EASTERN ENGINEERING GROUP TAKES PART IN THE ARTS

“Once you are inside and you look through the layer of water, looking up and seeing the people above, or the opposite, being outside on the deck looking down inside the pool. I feel like the swimming pool itself is a threshold and it’s a meeting point.” – Leandro Erlich

Eastern Engineering Group’s Structural Components Division boasts with pride at having contributed to the creation of an awe-inspiring work of art – a sculpture so iconic it graces the halls of the Perez Art Museum (@pamm) in Miami. This masterpiece, born from the genius mind of Argentinian artist Leandro Erlich in 1999, is a breathtaking testament to the power of imagination. Within this exhibit, every element is a meticulous fiction, meticulously crafted to mirror ordinary settings with an extraordinary twist, luring visitors to question their very perceptions of reality.

One such component is the renowned Swimming Pool work, designed to be viewed from both above and within. From above, the illusion of a crystal-clear pool brimming with water is a sight to behold. Yet, as visitors step onto the bottom of the pool, clothed in their entirety, the fantasy takes hold. Using a glass sheet, the underwater world is recreated, inviting blurred visions of the world beneath the surface.

We take this moment to express our sincerest gratitude to Rodolfo Athayde, owner of Artea Producoes LLC, for entrusting us with such a magnificent project. Together, we have contributed to the creation of a true work of art that transcends the boundaries of the ordinary and elevates the senses to new heights.
