Multisensory Participatory Installations as Journeys
PART 1: STORE
​
"Collaborating with Le Jardin Retrouvé, a French family Niche Haute Parfumerie House, has led me to develop an entire branch of my art, which can be implemented virtually anywhere in the world."

Le Jardin Retrouvé Experience Store

Creating a transformational space that empowers participants and makes them feel whole, protected from the outside world, and connected to themselves has been central to my research.

In such a space, they enter through a wardrobe and discover another world full of bird songs and poetry, where they watch/smell/listen.
In the end, they spray themselves with perfume, write about their olfactory emotions - directly linked to our deep memories and post them on the Wall of Emotions. 

This Experience was part of an Airbn'B program, and travelers from all over the world came. The store itself was like a sales funnel, with reassurance (Wall of Emotions), information, secrets, and sales. Conversion rate was 90%.
