Descrizione:

This installation incorporates fragments of military clothing into domestic air ventilation systems, transforming them into symbolic portals that circulate the invisible presence of conflict within everyday life.

By placing elements of war—camouflage, insignias—into the home, the work collapses the boundary between civilian and militarized space, revealing how contemporary systems of power operate not through direct force, but through subtle infiltration.

Smell of War reflects on ultra-contemporary structures of control: atmospheric, internalized, and emotionally encoded. The piece evokes how war, even when distant, becomes intimate—how it enters through the air, settles into routine, and haunts the domestic.
