Dana El Masri (Jazmin Saraï)
Ahmosi and Amun
Location: Memphis, Egypt, 1507 BC
One evening, Ahmosi was visited by the god Amun, who made himself recognizable by his godly aroma. Upon waking, Ahmosi recognized the God. As the story goes, “his love passed into her limbs, which the fragrance of the god flooded; all his odors were from Punt.” The result of this olfactory union was the conception of the second female Pharaoh, Hatshepsut.
For the exhibition 'Ten Encounters' at Olfactory Art Keller in New York, ten artists from around the world were invited to explore encounters between two individuals that shaped culture to this day. The exhibiting artists created olfactory interpretations of the meeting of a snake queen and a wood seller, artificial intelligence and the last human on earth, a Dutch trader and a Japanese shogun, and seven other consequential encounters. Using their sense of smell, visitors to the gallery can participate in these important moments of human confluence. 'Ten Encounters' was curated by Saskia Wilson-Brown (The Institute for Art and Olfaction) for Olfactory Art Keller.
Conversation moderated by Saskia Wilson-Brown from The Institute for Art and Olfaction and Andreas Keller from Olfactory Art Keller.
