Deliquesce is made up of three short takes, or three long breaths. For each 25-second take, Smith would inhale and submerge herself in the shallow waves before hand winding the camera to take the next shot. We see her struggle to stay under water, to breathe or open her eyes. The abstracting effect of the analogue film entangles Smith in seaweed, bubbles and reflections of sunlight, and as described by the title, the artist’s body and hair becomes somewhat liquid.
