In Early Modern literature and visual arts, soap bubbles and foam frequently appear as symbols of the subject and its fleeting existence. However, their ephemeral substance also prompted reflections on volatile materiality, characteristic of today's installation and performance art. Recently, foam and bubbles not only reemerge as motifs that adapt Baroque topoi by modelling confrontations with mortality and aesthetic illusion, but are also used to engage in cultural critique: 'foaminess' is used as a metaphor for insubstantiality, for societal phantasmagoria or for suppressed guilt. This article looks at German-language poems from the 21st century to demonstrate how poets have discovered foam as a 'generative principle' that corresponds with the processuality of poetry itself. By taking an interart perspective, these texts are cross-read with similar positions in installation art, theater, film, and cultural philosophy, thereby revealing connections on three levels: between foam as a literary and artistic motif, as a fluid material, and as a multi-dimensional autopoietic substance.
