Blue Effervescence (2022, '18)
Blue Effervescence (18 min) is a meditative short film by Tessel Schmidt, part of her Macrolandscapes series. Captured through a macro lens, the film closely observes a blue bath bomb dissolving in a glass vase, revealing an intricate, ever-changing world of fizzing textures, swirling colors, and delicate transformations. Accompanied by a bespoke sound composition, the work envelops the viewer, evoking introspection and sensory immersion.
As the bath bomb dissipates, the piece subtly asks, "Where have you been?"—not in the literal sense, but within the landscapes of memory, feeling, and imagination awakened by the film. Like poetry in visual form, Blue Effervescenceresists explanation, instead leaving behind traces of emotion, a fleeting moment to hold, and an intimate journey into oneself.
