Impression of this unique exhibition
(held from April 1 - en July 2023)
The exhibition ‘Smells like roses’ in Foxton New Zealand was officially opened with a rose ritual and a blessing. The Dutch Ambassador, Mayor Wanden, Robin Hapi, the Maori Kaumata (a kind of Maori mayor), and all other visitors were over the moon about the olfactory art. After speeches and the multi-sensory rose ritual by Puck Cèzanne, the hall was opened. But before entering, the Kaumata first gave a traditional Maori blessing. (see video in photo impression)

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.
