About

Have you ever tasted the notes produced by a musical instrument?

Or, have you ever smelled the meaning of a word?

When sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing become confused

we experience a condition called Synaesthesia.

One of the most bizarre cases of synaesthetes was a Russian journalist named Solomon V. Shereshevsky.

We learned about Solomon from the book "The mind of a mnemonist" written by the iconic Russian neurologist, Alexander Romanovich Luria.

​

Through the Installation Synaesthesia - Solomon's Case, the artist invites the spectator to get familiar with the phenomenon of synaesthesia and the unique way in which Solomon perceived life.

Duration: 27 minutes

​

Synaesthesia - Solomon's case includes:

- Digital living paintings (Sight)

- Original music score (Hearing)

- Perfumes (Smell)
