A network of routes crossing deserts, mountains, and steppes — a vast circulation field linking East and West. In 1271, under the reign of Kublai Khan, the Yuan dynasty marks a period when distance becomes surmountable and exchanges intensify across Eurasia.
This exhibition is inspired by materials once transported along these roads: lemon, sandalwood, saffron — substances prized for their color, rarity, and fragrance. Three distinct scents, developed in collaboration with a Parisian perfume workshop, accompany the paintings and extend the experience beyond the visible surface. Through layering, abrasion, and repetition, the works trace movement across distance — where matter becomes memory and atmosphere becomes form.
1271 is reduced to 11. Two verticals. A threshold.
Good to know
Three fragrances created with a Parisian perfumery workshop accompany the exhibition.
