One Hundred Fish Fountain

One Hundred Fish Fountain is the title of this amazing piece of art by Bruce Nauman. Here's a quote from the New York Times:' “One Hundred Fish Fountain,” is an actual working fountain. Bronze casts of real fish — catfish, bass, whitefish and other species — are suspended by wires from the ceiling at different heights. They appear to be swimming in a giant aquarium. Rather than being immersed in water, however, each is a hollow container from which water spurts in slender streams through multiple little perforations. The water falls like rain into a broad, shallow basin on the floor, from which it is pumped back up to each fish through a hose connected to its belly." ' (August 9, 2012)
