Quick up-date


Such a long time without updating my research!


My current project, Petrichor, a odor-analogue film performance is taking quite some time to develop, but as the good wine, some time and rest will do it's magic, it's while the maturation process when it gets the most special flavors. So there I am!

For now, and this is quite a big step, I have manage to obtain some Geosmine odor, which means: I'm so close to the end smell I wanted to create!!

In the past months I've been busy filming the Tropaeolum majus I planted in our garden, here in Berlin. It has grown rapidly.





What interests me about this plant, is the reaction its leafs have to the rain, when it falls:

They seem to have a really resistant impermeable layer which reveals us the superficial tension water drops at it's peak!

Please have a look to this short clip, it's amazing how the tinny water drops get together.
