Olfactory Tools
Cleo Dölling

The project deals with the sensory perception of scents. Three experimental and delicate scent instruments are triggering poetic gestures. Those gestures involving the hands, fingers and the face are intended to increase the conscious perception of scent. The fans allow the experience of the variety and diversity of scents in their own unique quality. The scent bells contain an already mixed composition, which characterises the scent families. Finally, the olfactory magnifier and intensifier allows the exploration of synthetic fragrances on the skin and the neutralization of the sense of smell after intensive smelling. The objects are mainly made of porcelain, wood, paper and 3D-printed polylactide.
