“Scent has maybe been a precursor to art … Scent is described as mysterious, inscrutable because it’s invisible. You can’t see the molecules.”
– Korean-American artist
Anicka Yi, on the fragrance that is part of her multisensory artwork
Walking on Two Paths at Once. Created in collaboration with French perfumer
Barnabé Fillion, it provides a sensory awakening that prepares visitors for a deeper exploration of the connections between biology and power, writes critic Kwon Mee-yoo. The piece is currently on view at Yi’s
solo exhibition at Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul (KR).
