A contemporary artist who creates works with scents
Session info
In his lecture "Olfactology Lab" Peter De Cupere will talk about the possibilities how he as an artist interacts between nature and society. The relationship between the use of scent as a creative aspect of his work and the references to scientific backgrounds and mental responses (based on the memory of the viewer's mind). As examples of his olfactory artworks he explains his tree - and flower works. He ends his lecture with his "Flower Tree" which will be exhibited during the whole Creativity World Forum 2011 event.
About
By exploiting the subjective, associative impact of smells, in combination with visual images, Peter De Cupere generates a kind of meta-sensory experience that goes beyond purely seeing or smelling. Plastic artist De Cupere paints with scents, produces olfactory objects, soap paintings and sculptures, creates video and live performances, makes three-dimensional drawings and builds poetic smell installations.
