Senses Lights – Smell & Scent

2.500,00 €

Smell might be the most intrusive one in the sequence. Smell is the only sense that goes straight to the parts of your brain that store memories and emotions. Smell has direct access to those memories. We can be put off by an aroma or fall into a melancholic stream of thoughts. It impossible to ignore.

Description

Senses Lights is a series of six Illuminated Conceptual Art wall sculptures, each built around one of the word pairs at the heart of the Senses Project: HEAR&LISTEN, LOOK&SEE, SMELL&SCENT, TASTE&SAVOUR, TOUCH&FEEL, LEARN&KNOW.

The six works are ordered deliberately, from the most external sense to the most internal. The series begins with hearing, which reaches us from the world at a distance, and ends with learning, which is a process that happens entirely within. Moving through the series is moving inward.

Consistent with Steit’s broader practice, the work prioritises idea over spectacle. All of the the six works use the same structure, the different senses used have different emotional responses. The request is to go a level deeper, think further, look ahead. There are no wrong answers.
