La Fabrique des Pot(e)s
(The Scented Jar Factory)
448 jars of jams, school furniture and many stories of scents - 2021
This artwork was produced during a residency in an elementary school nearby Paris.
Each child brought its favourite scent from home.
They all drew a pattern inspired by the scent brought.
We screwed up all the jars, put the patterns on the bottom of the lids and wrote everyone’s first names.
Then, everyone shared each other the scents that made sense and pleasure for them.
Can we build a common olfactory primer from childhood?
