“If the recognition of a scent is more privileged to provide consolation than any other recollection, this may be so because it deeply drugs the sense of time.”
W. Benjamin (Iluminaciones, Ensayos y Reflexiones)
Aromas of sea and human throng accumulate in closed compartments. This work full of force and melancholy stops time and transports us to the ruins of the Banys de Sant Sebastià, a seawater spa in the Barceloneta district that no longer exists.
