05.19.(水)

In the morning, I received 6 raw ingredients from Omega Ingredients. The top quality of flavour of the world! I've adjusted the strength of the scents.



And further I've done shopping for extracting some smell.

Speculaas spices: the must have spice mix for the Dutch.



I've tried to extract the smell of the sea with diverse sorts of sea weed from Japan. Somehow water-base didn't work so I've made alcohol-base extract.





Extracting BBQ chicken.





Extracting the smell of 'patat' - the french fries. It's also the must have smell for the Dutch.





Extracting pizza smell.






The left one is the extract from pizza, and the right one is the extract from BBQ chicken.

Selecting which liquor smell to use. (I'm not drinking...)


I decided to use Robijn for the smell of washed clothes.


I wanted to have the smell of Surinam's Toko in the line. So I've extracted from the smoked fish.
(in the end it turned to the smell of smoked salmon)




05.20. Thu

Continued extraction works.



Composing the smell of forest. But it didn't work in the air.




With watching the video documentation of the boat trip, I've made a 'smelly' scenario.

SMELL x ILLUSION : annoucement



[EN]
SMELL x ILLUSION

SMELL X ILLUSION is a boat-trip where new smells are being added to the existing environment. While you proceed through the Dordrecht harbours you perceive these smells and automatically you develop relationships between the smell and the environment.
SMELL X ILLUSION makes use of existing smells that are being presented in a different context. The audience is being challenged to enjoy the imaginations and illusions that appear because, wether we want it or not, always try to create a coherent world out of the perceptions of one and another sense. The 'fluisterboot' takes you on a trip along the back-sides of houses, shops and restaurants in the city centre of the medieval Dordrecht. These form the set for a challenging expedition.

* duration of the boat trip: 45 min to 50 min
* reservation recommended
* please don't wear perfume

SMELL x ILLUSION

SMELL x ILLUSION is een rondvaart door Dordrecht waarbij nieuwe geuren aan de bestaande omgeving toegevoegd worden. Terwijl je door de havens van dordrecht vaart neem je deze geuren waar en leg je automatisch verbanden tussen beide. SMELL x ILLUSION maakt gebruik van bestaande geuren die in een andere context gepresenteerd worden. Het publiek wordt uitgedaagd om te genieten van de verbeeldingen en illusies die onstaan doordat we, of we het willen of niet, een coherente wereld proberen te maken uit de waarnemingen van het ene en het andere zintuig. De 'fluisterboot' neemt je mee op een tocht langs de achterkanten van huizen, winkels en restauranten in centrum van het middeleeuwse Dordrecht. Deze vormen het decor voor een uitdagende expeditie.

* de duur van de reis in ongeveer 45-50 minuten
* reserveren bij de festival
* liever geen parfum dragen
