This short film follows Norwegian artist and musician Simon Daniel Tegnander Wenzel as he explores scent as an artistic medium.
Working with olfaction, Simon creates scent-based compositions that connect memory, place and personal experience. From childhood associations triggered by everyday smells, to the reconstruction of a wartime cave through its atmosphere and minerals, his practice moves between intimate recollection and careful sensory research.
Through fieldwork, studio experiments using a perfumer’s organ, and workshops with audiences, Simon uses scent to open spaces for reflection, dialogue and shared memory - inviting people to revisit places, moments and parts of themselves that might otherwise remain hidden.
Simon was in residence at Artica Svalbard during the summer of 2025.
Film by Tom Warner.
