In this performance Afek addresses the audience’s olfactory sense. In a temporary laboratory he produces different scents referring to biography, local products, places and memories. These smells are kept in transparent plastic bags and served to the audience. When the performance is not taking place, the olfactory laboratory functions as an accessible sculpture, inviting visitors to interact.
The Evening Menu:
A quick stop at the promenade, on the sidewalk - arak, star anise, vinegar, cardamom
The neighbors meet on the stairway while the desert is burning and the city is on fire - Israeli garlic, za’atar, wormwood herb
My dead roots - horseradish and beets
Making love under the olive tree - damp soil in wine
The morning after last night is finished - turkish coffee, tobacco and vodka
