Nimis, Driftwood sculpture installation in Kullaberg Nature Reserve, Sweden
Located at Håle stenar, Nimis consists of interconnected wooden towers, pathways, and chambers constructed entirely from driftwood and secured with over 160,000 nails.
Swedish artist Lars Vilks initiated the construction of Nimis in 1980 as a response to his near-drowning experience, leading to decades of legal disputes with local authorities.
The installation represents a significant artistic statement against permanence in art, becoming part of the self-proclaimed micronation of Ladonia and owned by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
Visitors access Nimis through a marked trail starting at Himmelstorpsgården café, following N-markers on stones and trees down steep terrain to the coastal location.
The structure spans 100 meters in length with towers reaching 15 meters high, integrating legal documentation and controversies as elements of the conceptual artwork.
