Six Scents Series 2: Places - ’Flashback’ by Marco Brambilla

Flashback weaves together iconographic images sampled from films to created a kinetic video canvas - visualizing the spectrum of human emotion and recall using the principles of cognitive psychology. Perfumes are formulated from distinct notes, each of which represents a particular thought or feeling. They then combine to form a complex fragrance that can vary from individual to individual. Similar to the varying effects a perfume can have on any particular person, ’Flashback’ explores the way an individual might remember thoughts and feelings associated with the experience of each fragrance.
