Fujiko Nakaya's Fog Sculpture at Honfleur's Jardin des Personnalités
Fujiko Nakaya, the 93-year-old Japanese pioneer of fog sculpture, will install a new fog sculpture at the Jardin des Personnalités in Honfleur, France, facing the Seine and container ship traffic. The work, running from May 29 to September 27, 2026, draws a direct line to the estuary, 150 years after Monet studied Honfleur's clouds. The piece is experiential—viewers must walk through it to feel the humidity and diffracted light.
