#smelllabberlin

11 / October / 2016

Session dedicated to the design students of the university of Postdam.

The students showed the projects they were bussy with during their introduction week at the school and also took part of a sound & smell experiment by Klara Ravat.

During the Smell Lab #13 Ramina Puzhicha made an introduction to her project per se and DIALOGUES.

The evening started with a short meditation in order to prepare our senses, we where then ready to Smell and experience Ramina’s creams. These creams are super detailed compositions about the 4 elements present in nature: earth, water, fire and air.

Her formulations were specially produced to be used together with a sound piece by the artists Tatsumi Ryusui.

She ask us to write down our associations when applying the creams to our skin.

Results extracted from her blog:

#1 – dark blue/green, dense forest, overgrown garden, late summer in an abandoned town

#2 – purple/lilac, fresh/cold, winter garden, sleepy, night, snow

#3 – rotten fruit, dark, soil, geraniums, grandmothers garden, daylight

#4 – birthday cake, warm, cofee, cream, pink, exuberance, orange

Thank you so much Ramina for the lovely and deep experience you brought to the Smel Lab!
