Clouds in a room: Its not photoshop this time.

That's right, kiddies.
They are real clouds in rooms.



MAGICAL, SIMPLY MAGICAL!
Every cloud has a silver lining and Berndaut Smilde’s clouds have made him famous, quite literally taking the art world by storm. 

Smilde uses a fog machine to make the actual clouds, but also carefully regulates the humidity and temperature. Even so, these installations exists for a mere moment before dissipating inside the room. If you're not there in the moment, then you only get to experience these brief scientific sculptures as photographs.

Often drawing on a nebulous concept of the “physical presence of transitional spaces,” on one hand Nimbus I(shown above) was visible only for a few minutes at Hotel MariaKapel, while Nimbus II was captured for Probe, an online gallery.

The lone cloud installations defy boundaries and bring a fantastical element to these rooms.
