Olfactory exhibition
Centre culturel Alban Minville
From matter to spirit
is an ephemeral exhibition, imagined and conceived by Pierre Bénard, perfumer-creator.
Through a scented creation, he breaks down the art of perfume by presenting native materials, natural extracts, synthetic molecules, articulated sounds, projections.
The perfume is the spirit which conceives it, it is the spirit which composes it.
Material and immaterial, perfume as a transparent entity.
Impalpable, this body, this volatile soul is a messenger that comes to our receptors, our emotions, our memories, our memory.
Allegory of perfume, the spirit is that olfactory form in the air we breathe, that we inhale, that we breathe out and which lets us know that we are alive.
Around his exhibition and more generally his work as a perfumer-creator, expert in natural raw materials, Pierre Bénard, invites us to discover his evanescent world of scents.
Through artistic and cultural approaches, meetings as educational as they are fun, cycles of interactive conferences, he shares with us in his wake, more than a profession, an art.
A true ode to air and fragrance: Breathe!
Opening on Saturday September 11 at 6.30 p.m / Exhibition until November 27, 2022
