Installation Art - Berndnaut Smilde - Clouds - Netherlands

Berndnaut Smilde is a Dutch artist who creates clouds. He requires a cold and damp space with no air circulation. He mists an area with a spray bottle to put water vapour in the air. Then he turns on fog machines that spout tiny particles and the vapour condenses around them. Then he runs around the forming cloud coaxing it into a shape about 10 feet across and 6 feet tall. The clouds only last for 5 to 10 seconds during which time a photograph is taken. This is a whole lot of work for a 10 second image. But it works. Artists are always thinkin', huh?
