ABOUT
Tessel Schmidt (1983, NL) is a video artist who makes macro landscapes in which she sets up situations and then leave these to develop organically with the camera and subjects in a dialogue in which her control and presence are no longer required. She interviews people, build small set-ups with (liquid) materials, gathers images, investigates, and experiment in the edit with all these ingredients to eventually try to catch a feeling or come to an essence of the subject. She moves between the everyday and the spiritual by pointing her camera on everyday liquid materials, combining this with a chosen soundscape. With her films she stages a space with elements from reality. Her films are open ended and run in a loop. In the edit, but also playing with video projection or multiple screens in the exhibition space, the work will take shape.
