Fujiko Nakaya pioneered video art in Japan and was the first to explore new technologies in landscape art. Since the 1970s, she has been creating “Fog Sculptures,” or misty environments offering visitors a surprising visual, bodily, and mental experience.
For Le Vent des Forêts, she has traced, along the Aire River, a fog sculpture that is in a state of constant motion and transformation. “I am a fog sculptor, but I do not try to shape it. The atmosphere is the mold and the wind is the chisel.”
Fujiko Nakaya: born in 1933 in Sapporo (JP). Lives and works in Tokyo (JP).
