This might not be as deep and conceptual as other artists, but Berndnaut Smilde's ephemeral pictures of indoor clouds simply amaze me. Smilde's process of making these indoor clouds involves using a smoke machine, and then reducing the humidity in the room where the mist is released so that the cloud makes enough of a shape to photograph, a very time consuming and tedious process. This cloud formation is fleeting, and dissipates in seconds. These clouds are photographed in unconventional areas such as elevators or abandoned structures and deal with the concept of time, permanence and temporality.
