Daan Roosegaarde was inspired by 17th-century Masters such as Salomon Ruysdael. He shares their fascination for the Dutch landscape and the role that people played in it. Although only 10 centimeters thick, the cloud wall gives the impression of providing meters of space. Together with a team of experts, Roosegaarde worked on a unique printing technology using lenses that produce perspective and movement effects when the work is observed from different angles, creating a groundbreaking visual “augmented reality” space. Its 3D effect is enhanced by warm-white LEDs embedded in the wall, creating a space that is both physical and poetical. The more than 100 meters long artwork is the largest of its kind worldwide.

 
“Beyond” is not a straightforward aerial image but consists of various cloud dimensions. In the middle of the wall, for example, you can see the golden clouds that are characteristic of the famous Dutch Golden Age painting. When walking up, you move through the more international clouds which you see when looking out of an airplane window.

The permanent work of art is located at Departure Hall 3 of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and is accessible to all travelers.
