Berndnaut Smilde




Wow wow wow!! This is the INCREDIBLE work of Berndnaut Smilde. This guy is able to create his own REAL nimbus clouds inside empty spaces. Amazing huh? 

Washington Post:
'Smilde’s godlike powers come from simple science — he carefully regulates the temperature and humidity of the space, ensuring that conditions are perfect. Then, he sprays a short burst from a fog machine to create a cottony cloud suspended in the middle of the room for just an instant before it collapses.'
'Smilde’s clouds dissipate so quickly that they exist mainly in photographs. He chooses surreal spaces, such as empty churches or galleries, as his setting. One photo, taken in a room with bright blue walls, is evocative of the painter Rene Magritte’s azure skies and puffy clouds.'
