In Search of a Sublime Blue

  • Martijn van Mierlo
16 min, digital video, color, 2017 A semi-fictional travel story about the personal search for a sublime blue. A search for and the endeavour to capture, the distant blue. This is the light at the bluest end of the spectrum which disperses among molecules in the atmosphere towards distant mountains. It is unable to reach, touch, grab, hold or preserve this blue. The distant blue as a metaphor for the interstice between reality and representation.
