Olfactophone in 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 common 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. Workshops in scent-dialogue will be available to book from mid May.
