Imagine an exhibition with 31 large-format photos in a shadowy ambience. As you get closer, the image reveals itself and you can smell it like if you were there. Every scent of every single element is present: stone, grass, smoke, rubber, ice, you name it. At the same time, you're fully surrounded by an ambient soundtrack produced and customised for the exhibition, including original sounds recorded on remote locations where the photos were taken.

This unique sensorial experience was a never-before-seen event in the world. Above & Beyond Senses took take place at the Myriad Crystal Centre, Lisbon. The complete set of photographs were collected around the globe for approximately 7 years and the songwriting lasted several months to produce.

Everyone sees photos and listens music, but nobody smells it. The sensorial impact of the scent, which has a strong inner connection to our lives, memory and consciousness, was remarkable. This was possible due to the highly committed expertise coming from a wide team of professionals across several industries, thanks to my partners and friends from Mane and Martflavor, Knook and - last but not least - Myriad by Sana Hotels. 

Highly acclaimed by the artistic community and the general public, it was a major success that caught the attention of TV shows, radio stations, newspapers,  magazines and all sorts of online media.
