PublicationsThe book and the project
Il Profumo del Sé
Ancient senses, future identities in a hyper-technological world.
The question
What remains of us when everything demands our attention?
The book moves through digital overload, memory, smell and identity to recover a less automatic form of presence.
Smell becomes a cultural lens: an ancient sense closely linked to memory, revealing the embodied, cultural and relational nature of human experience.
