Perfume
(1999)
exhibited with VideoPerfume
at the Great River Arts Institute 2001.
The piece consists of a standing illuminated display case with 30 small glass works, a large background projection, and a small projection near the floor. Six of the glass pieces are inscribed with recipes for different Guerlain perfumes; each of the others seals a single ingredient (magnolia blossoms, pools of amber, vanilla stains) with various wax and varnish smears.
The projection behind the case shows a double image, combining pale winter gardens. The projection near the floor shows an altered detail (hand/lamp/waterfall) from Duchamp's last work. The scale of these two projections varies according to the installation.
