Schering Stiftung

A floor made of wax, holding clay bowls filled with aromatic oils and surrounded by iridescent walls: In her exhibition, “Hyperdrüse,” the Berlin-based artist Anna Virnich creates a space that is saturated with shimmering colors and a complex choreography of smells. The latter has been developed in cooperation with the collective Scent Club Berlin on the basis of essential oils that have been enriched with synthetic molecules. This collaboration resulted in two complementary smell compositions, whose individual components overlap within the space so that it is almost impossible to clearly identify the individual aromas.
