curated by Claudia Christoffel

The exhibition “How Does Passion Smell?” offers a wide range of sensory experiences. After all, it’s all about the scent of passion. The participating artists provide conceptual answers to the question posed by the title—answers that are olfactory, literary, and gustatory—which visitors can smell, read, and taste in the exhibition.
