Fog Bridge by Fujiko Nakaya in Bristol, 13 to 22 February 2014

Fog Bridge by Fujiko Nakaya, part of: IBT15 Bristol International Festival. Watch Pero’s Bridge disappear behind a veil of fog… The world is getting warmer – but how will this change our weather? And how might a changing climate disrupt our lives?

In celebration of Bristol’s status as European Green Capital, In Between Time have invited a conjurer of unusual weather, artist Fujiko Nakaya to the city.

Over 40 years, Nakaya has used fog as a sculptural medium. Collaborating with the elements, Fujiko’s clouds are created by water pumped at high pressure through many micro-fine nozzles.

A special guest in Bristol, Nakaya’s long career has seen partnerships with a host of renowned artists and architects including Robert Rauschenberg, Trisha Brown, Bill Viola and Diller Scofidio & Renfro.

Pause your life for a moment, and take a small step into the unknown.
