Smell of wool, felt, dust

Featured in the exhibition Mondes Sensibles, une histoire sensorielle de l’œuvre d’art totale (Sensitive Worlds, a sensory history of the total work of art) , International Perfume Museum, Grasse – from 14 June 2024 to 12 January 2025.

« I was fortunate enough to be able to go and smell the work directly in the Centre Pompidou collections, and I was struck by the animal scent that emanated from it. I used castoreum and Virginia cedar to recreate this effect of warm wool ». CC
