The Social Pool

The Social Pool, created by artist Alfredo Barsuglia, is a minimalist installation located in the Mojave Desert, offering an eleven-by-five-foot pool that invites visitors to reflect on social values while indulging in relaxation. This unique art piece combines elements of nature and luxury, challenging the commodification of experiences within contemporary consumer society.

Accessible only through a challenging trek and with specific GPS coordinates, the Social Pool serves as both a serene retreat and a commentary on the complex relationship between leisure and consumerism. Barsuglia encourages visitors to contemplate their own lifestyles and the ideologies behind their pursuits of tranquility and seclusion.
