"I
collected smells instead of writing a diary."
mono.kultur
#23 features Norwegian scientist and artist Sissel Tolaas
who has
dedicated her life and work to the world of smells. And what
an issue
it’s is – mono.kultur #23 contains no visual imagery
but
clears the page for our most primary sense: the magazine is
impregnated
with 12 scents curated by Sissel Tolaas. And we’re not
talking
about perfumes either, but what Tolaas would coin ‘difficult
smells’.
With a special technique called microencapsulation, the
scents
are literally printed into the magazine – you rub the paper to
release
them.
Meanwhile,
Sissel Tolaas is a phenonemon in herself: born and raised
between
Norway and Iceland, with degrees from Scandinavia, Poland and
Russia
in sciences, chemistry and fine arts, Tolaas has become an
expert
on everything related to scents, odours, smells. She is a
professor
at Harvard Universiy for invisible communication, while
working
on hospital and research projects as well as for commercial
clients
such as Adidas, Louis Vuitton and Ikea; while exhibiting the
results
of her research in museums such as the MoMA New York, the
National
Musem of Beijing or the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin. A
vibrant
and determined character with a unique expertise and
biography,
Sissel Tolaas is everything we could have hoped for.
