Fog Bridge Appears At The Harbourside

“Why is that bridge so misty?”

Fresh from creating other foggy wonders in Tokyo, San Francisco and New York City, Japanese artist Fujiko Nakaya has created a fog bridge at the Harbourside in an attempt to get visitors to ‘have a ponder’ about climate change.

Bristolians took to instagram & Twitter to show their support for the #FogBridge. Most enjoyed the fog bridge, taking pictures & videos whilst occasionally even paying a nod to the climate message.

Fucking really, Bristol? "Art" installation on a bridge is a fog machine that makes people wet and miserable. Well done Brizzle

The fog bridge in Bristol seems a stupid idea, people don't look happy bout it, bet women are cursing as will ruin hair, if you wear glasses

Not sure that #fog art is working. Fairly sure money could be better spent #BBC #bristol

'Steep rise in rough sleepers on Bristol streets' http://t.co/GGvQAzZvoi but its OK cause there's fog on a bridge @GeorgeFergusonx

Poor George.

You can’t please everybody…

But you could put a sign up for the poor people with curly hair.

Bristol needs to put a warning on that fog bridge installation telling people not to walk over if they have naturally curly hair.
