Olfactophone 2 (Sydney) - a scent-art exhibition

Olfactophone - A place where the common language is scent

Naoko Kusunoki and Nadia Vitlin explore a scented dialogue to find a Lingua Franca Profumata - an aromatic common language. Using a process of interchange and exchange, Naoko and Nadia use a singular concept rooted in a cross-sensory experience to create fragrances in iteration whilst exchanging information on the notes and ingredients they use, culminating in a singular common perfume created in-person. Olfactophone is the scented representation of how language evolves to converge over time, bringing a common understanding to both ideas and reality.

Having first exhibited in Tokyo, Olfactophone 2 is coming to Airspace Projects in Marrickville from June 5-21. Meet the artists June 5-7. Artist talk June 20. Workshops in scent-dialogue will be available to book closer to the event.
