Date & time
04 October 2024
18:00–20:00
Venue
Centre de la photographie Genève
Roberto Greco, Rauque
A round-table discussion (in English) on the relationship between art and olfaction, with four artists and researchers whose work harnesses olfaction as well as photography: Silvia Bigi, Roberto Greco, Francesca Lazzarini and Virginie Otth, moderated by curator Danaé Panchaud.
This talk brings together four Swiss and international artists and researchers whose practice often involves both visual and olfactive layers. The artists Silvia Bigi, Roberto Greco and Virginie Otth, and the curator and researcher Francesca Lazzarini, explore in their projects and research possible connections and interactions between the two senses. Their work relies equally on theoretical research and perspectives from several fields, and an empirical approach. They investigate the capacities of scents and photographs to stir memory, the ways in which perfume and images can jointly convey a narrative, or evoke forgotten episodes of history.
During this talk, the artists and researcher will discuss their respective individual practice, how the olfactive dimension of their work emerged, and how they navigate and reconcile two fields, photography and olfaction, involving different skill sets and codes.
This project is supported by The Italian Council 12th.
