A BRANCH OF FIR TREE IN THE RIGHT NOSTRIL,
SOMEWHERE IN SPAIN
performance
– lycée horticole, Blois / DRAC CENTRE
An olfactory landscape “somewhere in Spain” deployed through its familiar and a little unusual characteristical smells.
The reference smells are culturally different. For exemple the scent of cleanliness evokes memories of fresh, just-washed clothes, but differs from one country, one region, one culture to another, and all these differences create a culture, a landscape.
The chosen landscape is Bausen, the place where I am developing a long work linked to the safeguarding of heritage with the association Es Sarnalhèrs.
End of the obligation to wear a mask (covid 19 pandemic), invitation of moving the mask over the eyes to free the nose and mouth. Giving free rein to the senses forgotten during the pandemic.

The olfactory elements gradually composed a still life that the participants discovered at the end of the performance
