2014 _ Time Traveler – ISCP – Brooklyn – US
In this performance an actor that is not recognizable as such wears a perfume that is synthesized accurately to represent the smell of a forest floor after rain. The actor, lingering in the studio and other public spaces will casually strike up conversations with passers-by and at one point recall real memories of being in a forest after rain. It is a subliminal performance that is designed to possibly trigger a memory in the audience, by chance perhaps.

Other perfumes to be performed / experienced on other occasions (TBD):
– Of Worry-less Days (a scent of 1960 suntan-lotion, the breaking surf, warm skin and salt water, a watermelon in the distance)
– Everything I Know (a scent precisely mimicking old leather bindings and polished tables; a library)
– Elsewhere (a scent of the salty Mediterranean, seaweed covered rocks and old leather suitcases)
– When All Noises Cease (the smell of freshly fallen snow)
