Poland is not what you think.
It’s what you feel.
Essence of Poland is an artistic project by Wojtek Ziemilski, prepared especially for the opening of the Culturescapes festival in Basel. Perfume, that are part of the lecture performance, were created by the artist together with the famous Swiss perfumer Andreas Wilhelm.
"Sharing national identity is tricky. How to share something which is intuitive and personal, yet objective, or at least, collective? In a time when politics is mainly about dividing and antagonism, how to find a sense of cohesion and commonness?”
Wojtek Ziemilski interpreted this experience through a perfume that evoke associations with his personal story. For each viewer who received a sample during the performance, the fragrances became his/hers individual experience.
