As MATTER and SHAPE (2026) has come to an end, we look back with the Norwegian researcher and scent artist Sissel Tolaas (@sssl_berlin ) at CO_LAB Breath of One Many, a collaborative installation with @octaveperrault and @olfactorysignals . Blending art, science and architecture, the project explored scent as a collective sensory field. Through an invisible air network conceived as a living system, breath became a shared presence—blurring the boundaries between individuals and space. ft. molecules replicated from formulas by @abelfragrance , @ahare_spaceproject , @arpastudios , @ecdysis.studio , @matierepremiereparfums , @naomigoodsir , @nipponkodo , @notesdebasdepaje , @octo.skincare , @raerscents , @roelenperfume , @seedarte , @tomyships , @manuelmathieuparfums Content creation with @profirst #MATTERandSHAPE #SisselTolaas #OctavePerrault #OlfactorySignals
