Images of a simulated "fake" sky.
In his studio, Fredrik Skåtar set up a three-dimensional collage from various foils, back-drops and spotlights. By shaping smoke and fog, the aim is to create cloud formations and capturing them with the camera. The project was funded by the Swedish Arts Grants Committee (Konstnärsnämnden) in 2008.
