A widely illustrated monograph on the work of Julie C. Fortier, olfactory artist. "I want to believe in images. To project myself into them. As with the perfumes". Julie C. Fortier This is the sentence that guides the monograph around the artist's work. olfactory Julie C. Fortier. Because this work is intended above all to be a projection in his universe between images, texts and of course, perfumes. Four authors from from different disciplines (a philosopher, a scientist and two historians of art) are invited to express themselves on the work of the artist who addresses the perfume in its relationship to time and space, questions the possible transmission of an odor, its role as a vehicle of emotions but also the problematic of its sustainability. By installations which interfere in a place as in a conversation, with all delicacy, without ever distorting or betray, it questions the very notion of olfactory imprint, poetic but not evanescent, since it is inscribed in a scented object (ceramic, paper, etc.). The means of initiating the surveyors of the olfactory territories that it draws understand this term that she uses willingly: “the nose job”.
