The Mist

myminifactory

The woman just got out of the water. The sculpture depicts mist, in folklore a natural phenomenon symbolizing a state between the real and the unreal. The actual motif, though, is the naked female body. It is a real woman expressing pleasure, and not ideal beauty, exposed to the viewer’s gaze. The Mist was very popular and several copies were made. One is at Strömparterren in Stockholm and another in the park of the Garden Society of Gothenburg.   These 3D scans have been produced with an Artec Eva with the ambition to produce a digital representation as close to the original as possible. However, the presented scans are not to be regarded as duplicates as due to inaccessible areas etc deviations from the original might occur. Photography credit: CC BY SA Linn Ahlgren / Nationalmuseum
