Lane tiles

Lane tiles, originally uploaded by Powerhouse Museum.

This underwater image was taken at Enfield pool in Sydney for a photographic immersive featured in the exhibition Modern Times: the untold story of modernism in Australia. This pool was designed by the architects Rudder and Grout and still has the original tiling from the 30s, which you can see in this shot. Jean-Francois spent hours in the water trying to capture the many tile designs featured at this pool for the immersive. You can see more of the shots he took underwater in our Swimming pools set on Flickr.
