Exposition

A Multi-Sensory Journey: Music and Scent (2025)

Rosario Arena

About this exposition

Is it possible to hear with your nose and smell with your ears? Yes it is. In this exposition I will explore two kinds of correlations: between our ears and nose, the way we perceive and process external stimuli such as sounds and odours. And the relationship between music and scent on an artistic level and point of view.
