FLYING CREAM

Knowledge is always trans-specific

installation

Fiberglass lamps, emeralds, metal sculpture, blown-glass alkaloid extractor, obsidian and blown-glass sculpture, sound-frequency generator.

This installation presents a contemporary reworking of the flying cream, formulated during a residency at the biotech company Société Genialis. The cream was emulsified through sound waves and movement. Inspired by the same technology, we built a sound-based extractor for extracting alkaloids from Datura stramonium seeds.

The formulation brings together plants that enhance microcirculation, such as Achillea millefolium L. and Myrtus communis; regenerating plants such as Rosa damascena; aphrodisiacs such as Crocus sativus L. and Vanilla tahitensis; and a touch of Bursera graveolens to exorcise the evil spirits that want to enter our bodies and prevent us from enjoying ourselves.

Flying Cream formulation: aniara rodado & Société Genialis.
