1000 olfactory images!
1,000 olfactory images!
The title of this exhibition was a recurring expression by Ernesto Ventós. The creator of essences and collector, architect of the olorVISUAL collection of the Ernesto Ventós Foundation, indicated with this phrase, when he connected with some work of video art through his olfactory memory.
To the use of images and sounds for the creation of video art, the perfumer adds one more element, the smell.
Thus, in the journey that we can take through Casa Vicens, interacting with Gaudí’s stamp of originality, the essences that accompany the video creations will make us connect in a more intense way with the colors and shapes of the house.
Liquoric, tobacco, floral, ozone fragrances … will show us how the works of video art artists dialogue with the delightfully tight spaces of the first Gaudinian house.
Yesterday, today and the future united by smells.
