Abstract

The paper includes the topic of the relationship between smell and memory, as well as its use and significance in scene design through the realized multimedia exhibition "Scented Stories." In addition to the practical work, this relationship has been explored through historical and artistic research and the introduction of new terms such as the collective nose and the personal scent map. The paper consists of, in principle, five parts, of which the first is an introduction, which states the motive and purpose of such a project. The second part is a theoretical overview of the interpretation of scents throughout history, while the third part is dedicated to the analysis of works of art that are a reference for this study. The fourth section is dedicated to artistic research, and the fifth is dedicated to artistic work from the idea of origin, through the concept, spatial realization of the project, and finally, the reception of the audience.
