It starts like a fogginess machine , deploy its vaporous mist into the air — until the swarm it let out holds its exquisite shape and mutely hovers mid - room for hours . This is the play and allure of Nimbus , the physics - defying work of Dutch sculptor Berndnaut Smilde .
A video recording crew fromNeueHousecaptured the artist in actionwhile fix a swarm - elbow room for the Frieze art clean this hebdomad in New York .
As for how he really does it , Smilde is a bit coy about the process :
“ Moisture is the main factor , and if it ’s dusty , that really helps , ” he excuse . “ Other than that , I ’m using all form of agency to create an image and melodic theme . ” Mostly , that entails fog auto and squirt bottles filled with water — and “ shut down the fire alarms , ” he laughs , “ otherwise everybody will get very plastered ! ”
After the clouds , Smilde will focus on making rainbows , according to the Times : “ a heavy - scale prism , fill with mineral oil , to be projected onto the Colorado Mountains once the hoot of prey go in the forests are done breeding . ”
