Created by: Luke Casserly
This project is a collaboration between environmental artist Luke Casserly and the very first landscape he ever encountered - the Irish midlands bog. Part lecture, part performance, this is a creative attempt to look at our human relationship to landscape through scent.
As an artist from the midlands, Luke Casserly was inspired to make the piece in response to the recent cessation of the peat harvesting industry, as a way of stretching out further conversations around the environmental potential of the Irish bog landscape. Luke Casserly has been collaborating with renowned perfume maker Joan Woods over the past few months to create a unique distillation of the Irish bog, the starting point for an olfactory performance which attempts to translate the landscape for a live audience in an intimate and inventive way.
