Indoor Clouds: A Marvel of Art and Science
Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde has developed a unique art form that involves the creation of clouds within indoor spaces.
Hailing from Groningen, a city in the Netherlands, Smilde has always been captivated by the dramatic skies depicted in Old Dutch seascape paintings. His fascination led him to envision a typical Dutch rain cloud inside a room. This vision became the inspiration for his Nimbus series.
Smilde’s process involves a precise balance of humidity, lighting, and temperature. He uses a combination of smoke, moisture, and the right backlighting to create nimbus clouds indoors. These clouds are then photographed at the fleeting moment they are suspended in the air.
Interestingly, Smilde’s research on clouds led him to a substance called aerogel, also known as "frozen smoke". Composed of 99.8% air, aerogel is the lightest solid material on Earth. Intrigued by its resemblance to clouds, Smilde began experimenting with this smoke.
Smilde’s indoor clouds are a marvel to behold. So much so, that Time magazine declared them one of the best inventions of 2012. His experiments started in a small exhibition gallery called Probe in the Dutch city of Arnhem in 2010. Since then, he has created clouds in larger spaces, including a 15th-century church and an old castle.
Despite the scientific precision involved, Smilde emphasizes that the clouds are different every time. This unpredictability adds to the allure of his artwork. As his masterpieces only last for a few seconds, it is rare to witness them in person.
