Olfactus Loci

solo exhibition by Francesca Casale

22 March – 21 June 2025

Opening and meeting with artist: Saturday 22 March, at 15,30

The solo exhibition by the artist Francesca Casale, aka SENSU, is entitled “Olfactus Loci” and will be visible at the Park from Saturday 22 March until 21 June 2025.

Francesca Casale (Ciriè, Italy 1990) is a multidisciplinary olfactory artist. She works in Verolengo (TO). She trained in the essential oil field, attending perfumery courses and important institutions in the sector. She later enrolled in the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, perfecting her studies in olfactory communication and olfactory art.

WHY SENSU?

SENSU is the artistic-olfactory identity of Francesca Casale. Sensu ( 扇子 ) is the Japanese folding fan as well as the most iconic accessory of Japanese culture and is a symbol of good luck. The fan, moreover, is the way in which noses arrange their mouillettes in their hands. The research focuses on creating sensory experiences and spreading the culture of olfactory communication through art; investigating the olfactory impact in the artistic sphere and making contemporary art accessible through new interpretations, namely that of sensorial language.
