"In 2016 and 2017 a traveling exhibition of Japanese experimental physicist Ukichiro Nakaya's (1900-1962) photographs of snow crystals, electrostatic discharges and educational films took place at Riga Art Space, Latvia; at KTH R1 Reactor Hall as part of the program Dome of Visions, Stockholm, Sweden; and at Oslo Kunstforening, Norway. The exhibition was accompanied by a program of workshops, lectures, and seminars. For the Oslo version of the exhibition, a cycle of interconnected works and events took place around the city with Fujiko Nakaya, artist, and daughter of Ukichiro Nakaya, composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, dancer and choreographer Min Tanaka and artist Shiro Takatani. This book collects images and essays that examine the intertwined work and legacies of Ukichiro and Fujiko Nakaya, and their scientific and artistic engagements with frozen and vaporized water, as well as a public experiment by Fujiko Nakaya staged at Ginza Maison Hermès in Tokyo, 2017-2018"--Page 1
