Infra-Mince(s) - Tribute to Marcel Duchamp Stone, plinth with mirror polished stainless steel plate atop, tissue paper cast of the stone, reflexions in the mirror, perfume , fishing wire...(2023)
A stone placed on a mirror-polished stainless steel plate, above which floats its paper cast, both of which are reflected in the mirror: the stone is thus de-multiplied... Delicate and light, the suspended papercast is perfumed; it reacts to movements of the air and diffuses its powdery, velvety trail.
The invisible evanescence of the perfume is the 4th dimension of the work.
In collaboration with Nelly Hachem-Ruiz, perfumer-creator at IFF, world leader in perfume creation, we imagined a philosophical perfume that could symbolise the conceptual approach of the infra-thin, a poetic concept coined by Marcel Duchamp.
Nelly has selected synthetic molecules characterised by their clarity and purity.
