Fujiko Nakaya – Fog Sculpture

“The Neue Nationalgalerie presents a new site-specific fog sculpture by the Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya in its sculpture garden – a work that is both monumental and ephemeral, engaging with the iconic architecture of Mies van der Rohe. Fujiko Nakaya was born in 1933 in Sapporo, Japan. In the 1960s, she gained recognition as a member of the New York-based collective Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), and later achieved international acclaim for her immersive fog sculptures. Her first fog sculpture was created for the Expo World’s Fair in Osaka in 1970, using a system that generates pure water fog. …”
