Under Your Smell ECAL
Under Your Smell exhibition offers a truly immersive experience exploring notions of beauty, identity and gender. Under the direction of Florence Tétier, Jean Paul Gaultier's creative director, and Nicolas Coulomb, photographer and consultant for Novembre Magazine, Bachelor Photography students at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne offer a visual interpretation of Jean Paul Gaultier's perfumes. The brand's perfumes are at the heart of the installation. The young photographers have deployed this subject by creating still lifes with contrasting textures: liquid, dry, organic and inert, evoking the components of the essences and the design of the bottles. In a series of staged images, perfumes become the backdrop for stories of transgressions and fantastical projections. The exhibition offers a hypnotic and immersive experience through monumental fabric prints and giant image cushions that invite the public to lie down to celebrate gender diversity and new definitions of beauty and body expression.
