workshop@WDK day 4
Day 4
The last day of the projectweek.
Those students who took the enfleurage method (for narcis and hyacinth) they still had to finish the last part.
Taking out the flowers from the box and wiping off the fat.
The smell is 'copied' to the fat.
Now that all the extracts were being made, why not start exhibiting them?
The students got an assignment on the day before to prepare the exhibition text as indicated.

They are the survivors. Smelling requires a lot of energy from the body, so there were actually some students who became sick and couldn't continue.
Doors open for the guests.
The second round of the exhibition was at the City Informatiecentrum in the heart of the city. The academy held 2 days exhibition to show the results of the werkweek.
Four motivated students curated their own exhibition.
In between the fashion and design works, the smells were 'exhibited'. It's not easy for the public to touch and smell, because the protocol of normal art exhibition is "please do not touch". But we did our best to make it accessible.
After 4 days of workshop, I was totally exhausted, but with some kind of satisfaction. The last message that I gave to the students:
I would be happy if I've added another dimension of the senses to their lives.

You are all around the age 20, that means your sense of smell is now the sharpest in your whole life. Unfortunately the sensitivity declines as you age. But I think you can cover that by developing your own way of awareness by analyzing the smells and creating imagination from the smells, like we did in the class. Please stay aware.
I would be happy if I've added another dimension of the senses to their lives.
