Fog Bridge

IBT15: Fog Bridge

Event

Please note: This event took place in Feb 2015

Watch Pero’s Bridge (one of Watershed's closest neighbours) disappear behind a veil of fog as part of IBT15 Bristol International Festival. 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, Japanese 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.

Join us for a special Lunchtime Talkon Fri 13 Feb at 13:00 with Fujiko Nakaya for a unique opportunity to learn about Ms Nakaya’s practice and influential explorations of nature and technology throughout her forty year career. Watershed and the Pervasive Media Studio are pleased to host the only talk that she will give during this installation period, and will lead a trip from Watershed to Pero's Bridge immediately following the talk to allow you to experience Fog Bridge for yourself.

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