This video is a collaboration between Japanese scent artist Hisako Inoue and Dutch scent artist Claudia de Vos
Japan and the Netherlands have a long and historical bond. Buckwheat is a (pseudo) grain that was and is an important source of nutrition in both the Netherlands and Japan.
People from different age groups and backgrounds were approached for the video. Hisako interviewed people in Japan while I did this in the Netherlands. Both the Dutch and Japanese 'test' (smell) subjects were offered preparations of buckwheat dishes in which we recorded the personal expression of the smell and taste experience of buckwheat. We see and hear personal stories and memories that the smell and taste have evoked; “Memories of Buckwheat'.

Through this video we connect worlds that are so different outwardly, but at the same time show us all from our human need for food and appreciating it; smelling and tasting.
During the video, the visitor can also smell the various buckwheat preparations that the participants also smelled. What is your memory?
We appreciate it if you share your experience in our guestbook.

Cocoa ceremony
with rose ritual
spring 2023
09.30-14.00
location: Yurt "the GER"
Hilversumse meent
Heb je met elkaar iets bijzonders te vieren,
wil je ergens bewust bij stil staan?
Het Rozenritueel biedt ruimte om met elkaar een bijzondere herinnering te creëren.
De GER (yurt) is een fijne, geborgen plek om dit te doen.
​
What is it
You will be taken into a special sensory experience through taste, smell, music and a guided meditation. This can create a greater receptivity for creating good intentions and finding answers to possible inner questions. Everyone can participate at their own emotional level.
​
How does it work
By using the active substances of pure raw cocoa with its explicit taste and the fragrances of the rose, the senses are opened. A guided meditation takes this experience further through your body. While listening to music - generated live by a rose - we perform some 'ritual' actions with rose scent to reinforce your positive intentions.
At the end of the joint experience we have a light lunch; a mildly spiced Dahl soup with nan bread as served in temples in India. There will then be an opportunity, for those who wish, to exchange experiences.
Investment*: € 125 per person;
lunch included,
including bottle of rose hydrosol and LoveActivation window sticker.
*this morning consists of two workshops by two experts,usually € 75,- per workshop.
However, for this whole morning you only have to invest € 125 instead of € 150.
SCENT WALK:
Hiking nature experience with smell and feel
Group size 4 - 8
Contribution: 79, - per person
​
Dress warm and waterproof, bring your own cup; we provide tea.
When it drizzles we go anyway, during downpours we change the date
of the experience
booked on request
13.30-16.00
location: forest in Hilversum
Together with nature experience expert Agnes Meijs and scent psychologist Claudia de Vos, you will experience the forest with all your senses.
Agnes knows better than anyone how to perceive the forest in an 'earthly' way through forest baths, among other things. She has years of experience as a nature coach, where she uses nature as a mirror to discover yourself.
Claudia lets you become aware of the scents that nature produces with your nose. She lets you experience a spectrum of forest scents; the scent of the tree itself, its essential oil and the related stories. With a relaxing scent meditation in the forest for dessert. An afternoon of 'getting away from it all.'
And those who are captivated by the fragrance experience and cannot get enough of it, can purchase the new book (NL) by Claudia, 'Geurpsychologie voor iedereen' afterwards!

Hilversum
Tree heritages (Neuzen in het Pinetum) consists of a special scent, art and tree path located in botanical garden Pinetum Blijdenstein at Hilversum (the Netherlands). Pinetum Blijdenstein has one of the world's most complete collections of Gymnosperms - and is part of the Dutch National Plant Collection. The path I designed in 2014 for the Pinetum is a path that leads past a selection of trees. At five of these trees are chests placed with scented artifacts and audio, referring to the trees, bringing their stories to life.
na live bezoek nu ook online tentoonstelling GEURZICHT
sense of nature
Natural scents have healing powers and evoke images and memories that Claudia de Vos expresses in her art objects and installations. These scents, originating from flowers, plants and trees, can actually be smelled in the artworks themselves.
The exhibition includes fragrant ceramic statues, paintings and even tapestries. With Geurzicht, Claudia opens a window to the world of natural scents.

'Wild scents at' Die Brücke '- between nose and works of art'
Museum Kranenburgh

zondag 26 september 2021

Museum Kranenburgh
Hoflaan 26
Bergen NH
>> MUSEUM KRANENBURGH
We connect with the outside world through our senses. Most visual artists use seeing to convey their inner world to the viewer. In the expressionism of 'Die Brücke' color and shape are used to convey a feeling; the idyll of the outdoors and the connection with nature in sensual colors and exuberant shapes. What would happen if we replaced seeing with smelling? How would the work of die Brücke look like? Can color and shape be translated into scent?
Fragrance workshop - Sensory lab
In this experimental sensory lab in museum Kranenburgh, scent psychologist and visual artist Claudia de Vos takes you into the world of smelling. We explore the effect of natural scents on the psyche in which memories and the ingredients of natural scents play a major role. You choose one of the works of the Brücke and you go to work in small (corona-proof) groups to make a 'translation' of the work into fragrance
During this sensory lab you can also experience one of Claudia's scent artworks
