American artist Larry Bell has created a series of huge boxes using translucent and coloured glass, which are designed to evoke the morning fog that rolls in from the coast of California.
Venice Fog: Recent Investigations is an installation involving a series of cube-like sculptures made from semi-transparent and soft-hued glass. Each sculpture comprises a larger enclosure formed by four laminated panels, without a top or base, with a smaller box positioned inside.

The visual effect of the layers is intended to mimic conditions created by the weather and light in the coastal Los Angeles neighbourhood of Venice, where Bell has worked for over 50 years.

"The colour combinations [are] inspired by the marine fog which rolls into Venice, California, the location of Bell's studio since the early 1960s," said a statement from Hauser & Wirth, the international art gallery that is hosting the exhibit in Zurich until 3 March 2018.
