Perfume, a word meaning “through smoke,” has had a vital role in ritual, spiritual traditions and magical systems through the entirety of human history. During this talk, Mauricio will discuss how his work exists at a crossroads of  animistic spirituality, metaphysics and perfumery, including how fragrances created as vessels, talismans, anointments, enchantments and conjurations serve as magical objects through which we can reshape our internal and external realities.

About this Event: Presented in a collaboration between Los Angeles-based The Institute for Art and Olfaction and Berlin-based Smell Lab, the 4th annual edition of the Experimental Scent Summit will take place over four days (and four sessions) in July. For this edition we have invited a selection of speakers to discuss issues that relate to the field of olfaction. Topics covered reflect research into social justice, technology, history, creative practice, and much more. Part of the summit includes space for attendees to share their work, in two open mic sessions.
