Summary
Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya has created a site-specific fog sculpture at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie, filling the museum's 90-meter-long sculpture garden with slowly moving clouds of pure water mist. The installation, running through October 25th, 2026, interacts with trees, sculptures, and Mies van der Rohe's iconic modernist architecture. Nakaya has been working with fog as an artistic medium since developing her first fog sculpture decades ago.
