Science + Film making = Enthralled

 

Compressed 02 // A short film made by Kim Pimmel using "exotic ferrofluid liquid" and ordinary soap bubbles. It's all analog, macro lenses and stop motion. Surely part of the mesmerizing effect is the editing and the score, but what else is going on here? Is it capillaries= life blood, therefore we read it as organic and alive? Is it the know presence of ferro fluids? The eerie tension of man and machine—it looks alive but it's metal. Or does it somehow capture elemental forms and flows that resonate down to our fleshy and embodied DNA that binds us to the wonder of creation?
