๐๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ฎ ๐ผ๐ก๐ง๐๐๐๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ ๐พ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ examines the socio-political implications of hyper-sanitation on human communication and sensory perception. The work interrogates how regimes of cleanliness suppress olfactory and embodied modes of interaction, framing sterilisation as an ideological construct embedded within corporate, biomedical and governmental structures. Through the use of biophysical data, the project foregrounds scent as a modality, one capable of reasserting affective and relational dimensions of communication that are often marginalised within sanitised environments. In resisting the erasure of the body and the sensory, ๐๐ค๐ช ๐๐๐ฎ ๐ผ๐ก๐ง๐๐๐๐ฎ ๐ฝ๐ ๐พ๐ค๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐ฃ๐ฉ calls for a revaluation of perception itself as a contested and politicised terrain.
๐๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐๐๐ investigates the ways in which olfactory perception shapes human experience, identity, and its relationship to language. Drawing from her training as a perfumer, she combines her technical skills with scientific methodologies to investigate the commodification of sensory experiences and the diminishing presence of natural olfactory cues in an era of hyper-sanitation and digital mediation. By rendering the intangible visible, she examines the shifting relationship between biodata, personal autonomy, and the corporate and political forces shaping perceptions of identity. She urges viewers to reassess their connection to scent, positioning smell as a pertinent channel for communication.
