Tessel Schmidt

Tessel Schmidt (1983, NL) is a video artist who stages scenes from everyday life. Macro landscapes from everyday materials open into larger worlds. Schmidt’s set-ups often capture people at the limits of endurance or in a state of suspension. Her work explores the space in between life and death; the microscopic and the vast. The in between space is both uncanny and comforting; alien and everyday, testing the viewer's limits of perception.
