For this project at the intersection of applied sociopolitical utopia and conceptual art I developed an all natural scent diffused in a huge tent, placed in front of the Hilton, Muscat.
The aim was to create an overall feel good-atmosphere, which effects calmness, strength and clarity and helps the international participants to get into a grounded and confident mood before heading to their presentations, conference panels and discussions.

Jerusalem – Mahane Jehuda Market
Smellscape / scent installation, 2015
Garden of the Jewish Museum, Hohenems
(In cooperation with the On-Site Art Festival)
With his smellscape Paul Divjak is stepping into an olfactory dialogue with the current exhibition at the Jewish Museum: „A Streetcar Named Desired“, which takes the visitors on a reflective journey through Jerusalem by following the route of tram number 1, crossing and connecting the various „Jerusalems“.
In „L´année dernière à Jersualem“ the artist is describing a stroll through the city of Jerusalem. Subjective memories concerning the sense of smell enfold a assiciative and symbolic bouquet of the Holy city, center of three religions. Such evoking the aura of the very place of different cultures.

Der Duftexperte Paul Divjak energetisiert das rienna #2 mit einer Point-of-Sale-Duftinstallation seiner Komposition „Soul Splash”, liest vitalisiert aus seinem Buch „Der Geruch der Welt“ (Edition Atelier) und analysiert mit dem Apotheker Alexander Ehrmann deinen ganz persönlichen Geruchstyp. (Persönliche Körpergeruchszertifikate werden ausgestellt.)
Da es sich bei der performativen Geruchsbildbestimmung des von Dr. Divjak und Mag. Ehrmann gegründeten IFeO (Institut für Experimentelle Olfaktorik) um einen sensiblen und sehr intimen Prozess handelt, wird darauf hingewiesen, dass für die Teilnahme an der Analyse die Unterzeichnung d/einer persönlichen Einverständniserklärung erforderlich ist.
The idea was to develop an advanced room diffusing edition of my fragrance EAU MAJESTY (Saint Charles, Vienna) for the Neue Galerie, New York.
During the exhibition FRANZ XAVER MESSERSCHMIDT 1736-1783: FROM NEOCLASSICISM TO EXPRESSIONISM the whole museum was supposed to be smelling like a blossoming Royal Orangerie …
