Berndnaut Smilde : Nimbus

TAGGED AS Art, Berndnaut Smilde, Clouds, Ephemeral work, Floating, Nimbus
I’ve seen this floating around the internet for a couple of weeks now (no pun intended) and I decided I had to share it with those of you who may not have seen it. Artist Berndnaut Smilde has made the impossible possible : indoor clouds! What a wonderful concept.
“I’m interested in the ephemeral aspect of the work. It’s there for a brief moment and then the cloud falls apart. It’s about the potential of the idea, but in the end it will never function.”
Although it only last for a few seconds the photographic evidence and documentation is a beautiful result.
