My master’s thesis is dedicated to the gustatory-olfactory staging of art. It deals with the sensory presentation of art and tries to find an extension of the traditional art presentation. In doing so, the attention is directed from the visual-verbal presentation to a presentation that appeals to all senses, emphasizing the senses of taste and smell. I created a 7-course menu that was put together in relation to the art-inspired themes. I also designed and produced a water lily service made of porcelain. I have spanned a dramaturgical arc and an overall scenographic concept all inspired by the painting “Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas” by Claude Monet.

“Le Bassin Aux Nymphéas, the famous water lily pond of the impressionist Claude Monet, becomes the main protagonist of the gustatory-olfactory art experience. Seven courses are dedicated solely to the painting and open up a wide variety of themes over the course of the dinner.”
