Berndnaut Smilde

Smilde's work is best known for his site-specific, ephemeral cloud installations. He literally makes clouds inside his chosen areas. He has to make the area very humid and within a specific temperature range, then he let out a puff of moisture from his fog machine and makes a cloud. He then photographs the moment.
