Geur
Viktor & Rolf zijn meesters in het oproepen van complexe imaginaire werelden. In hun project Alternative No. 1 nemen ze de codes van zo’n wereld onder de loep. Het parfum dat ze creëren is uit onverwachte elementen opgebouwd. Het sprookje waar we maar al te graag bij wegdromen wordt verstoord door een geur, een fles en een campagne die juist nare ervaringen oproepen.
Presentation
Thinking of the term 'Smell, Life, Technology', i immediatley thought of the sense wich Victor & Rolf, de Dutch designersduo, devoloped exclusivley for 'The Art of Fashon' exebition in Boijmans van Beuningen Rotterdam.
During the exebition, visitors could enter a wooden complex where they would reacht a dark alley.
Almost every visitor noticed a strange sense there. At the end of the alley, suddenley there appeared a lightened strut. On that strut, Victor & Rolf had presented a perfume bottle made out of different pieces.
Personally i wasn't really positive about their new perfume. I thougt it smelled a bit odd. It was a weird sens i couldn't explain and other people shared my opinion.
Later on i found out that Victor & Rolf had tried to copy the smel of a vagina.
In class i heard the perfume smelled like apples, but i'm not sure, i can't remember.
This was a sort of performing art, and was made for people to think, to talk, to smell and making memories.
