So what would be more poetic and dream-like that being able to create a cloud? Berndnaut Smilde might not be able to give you the moon, but can surely fill a house with clouds. Behind this ephemeral idea there is some research and work: the artist must “mix” light with humidity and temperature, and it requires some specific measurements in order to be able to create an indoor cloud.

Julia Wilczok and Maria Judice made a film with the artist.

“I’m interested in the ephemeral aspect of the work,” Smilde states. “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.”

In fact, most of his works only last for a few seconds, therefore they are photographed the moment they are created.

Dutch artist Smilde is interested in melting together art and science, which is an even stronger statement when you see that he creates clouds, that only “live” for a few moments. So, you should consider yourself lucky in case you see one. And, in this case, the spectators are not afraid to have a cloud over their head.
