SCENTS OF GEISHA
intervention (2013)
Maki Ueda (JP/NL)
To the traditional geisha, scents were a tool of her trade. During this causal intervention in the lobby, a geisha will entertain your sense of smell, using a variety of such tools and skills. But she is also a member of the Camera Japan audience, so you may well spot her watching a movie, having a drink or making chit-chat. Who knows, if you stick around, she may surprise you too!

I used:
ylang ylang for the flowers on hair,
agarwood for veil, rose for fur fan,
sandalwood for the other wooden fan,
ylang ylang for blue paper flowers I folded for kids,
and amber for myself.
