Berndnaut Smilde

Berndnault Smilde is the amsterdam-based artist who has made this instalations wich 

result in a mixture of physics and art. Smilde introduced smoke, moisture and 

backlighting in a vacant room and  this way he  is able to create an optical  illusion that 

makes us think there is a cloud in a room. Genius. 

On the words of the  artist:

"you could see the cloud as a sign of misfortune. you could also read it as an element out of the dutch 

landscape paintings

in a physical form in a classical museum hall. at the same time I wanted to make (for once) a very clear image, 

an almost cliché

and cartoon like visualization of having bad luck: 'indeed, there nothing here and bullocks, it’s starting to rain!''
