Inhaltliche Beschreibung

The 2002 performances, the second series of concerts, were a collaboration with artist/researcher Tony Brooks (UK).

RAEWYN TURNER
Colour and smell may act as a portal to music’s structures and nature. Reflection on smell, invisible like sound, uncontained like light, opens up new realms of associations to be explored beneath the visual dominance of our times.
The potential exists for deeper levels of awareness in reflection by using smell (the art of odours as stimuli to the aesthetic imagination) to focus on the breath for critical thinking and to develop an open somatic state for imaginative exploration.

A 30 minute feature TV documentary "Inside Out" was made as well as the prime time TV & radio & press that we had while there.
The work was also presented to Universities (fine Art dept Auckland - ELAM) and UNITEC (dance).
