Don't You Want Me, Babe? Video Art. 5mins.

Product: Video Art

Running time: 5 mins

Premiered: At the international streaming New York festival Under the Subway

Powerful daydreaming in a powerless day, Don’t You Want Me, Babe? is about those precious moments we just abandon ourselves to just feel. It could also be a mantra. Shot in Tribeca on a very hot day.

~ miss me ~. Fragrance.

Role: Fragrance designer and installation maker.

~ miss me ~ is inspired by the infamous Whale 52, that sings at the frequency of around 52 hertz, while all the other whales communicate using frequencies that range between 15 and 25. Whale 52, first traced in 1994 by US submarines, known as the loneliest whale, is believed to be the only one of his species.

~ miss me ~ is the fragrance of the journey from an exceptional loneliness to a magnificent freedom. Panty-less and meticulously handcrafted, Miss Me is an exclusive dark and serene bouquet with a final pinch in the soul created in the Summer-y nights of New York City, 2012.

~ miss me ~ is presented sprayed in fans. Fans are used individually and the scent would flow towards the user rather than the other way around, in a wrapping fashion that acts as a shield. As a Spaniard I am very familiar with the use of fans. For the presentation of the fragrance, I’ve made an installation with a video recording of the Mediterranean sea at night under the moonlight [the recording was made just across Dalí's house in Spain] and modified its saturation according to the frequency variations of the actual sings of Whale 52 so while we can’t hear it we would see the color of the reflexion of the moonlight change. 

When a fan is picked up, the video of the ocean fades to a video of the shadow of a woman -myself- dancing in the daytime, as a ritual that expresses freedom and maximum joy.

Main ingredients: walk in the woods, leather, fig, pink peppercorn, jasmine and terrific enthusiasm.
