These Fog Sculptures Are The Best Thing You'll See This Year

The Japanese artist will present one of her renowned fog sculptures in the 63-acre public sculpture park, Ekebergparken, this September.

Since the World Fair Expo ’70 in Osaka, where Fujiko Nakaya unveiled her first fog sculpture, the 83-year old Japanese sculptor has been working with the elements as a sculptural medium to create her unusual misty artworks.

Over the years Nakaya has presented her elusive and dreamlike fog and cloud sculptures around the world at major venues, including the Guggenheim in Bilbao, the San Francisco Exploratorium and most recently at London’s Tate Modern, where London Fog captivated the public.

Now this autumn, among the national heritage park’s permanent outdoor art collection, Nakaya will install one fog sculpture that utilises specially designed technology to disperse water vapour that creates her atmospheric immersive work. Although only on view temporarily this autumn, the collection will acquire a permanent fog sculpture in 2018.

Fujiko Nakaya is at Ekebergparken, Kongsveien 23, 0193 Oslo, Norway between September 10–30, 2017.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way.

Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day.
