NADIA VITLIN AND NAOKO KUSUNOKI

Olfactophone: Where scent is the spoken language

Naoko Kusunoki and Nadia Vitlin explore a scented dialogue to find a Lingua Franca Profumata – an aromatic common language. Using a process of interchange and exchange, Naoko and Nadia use a common concept rooted in a cross-sensory experience to create fragrances in iteration whilst exchanging information on the notes and ingredients they use, culminating in a singular common perfume created in-person.
