Citrus Mundi, 2020

Author: Julie C. Fortier

Olfactory drawings on absorbent papero f 300 gr. In a circular frame of Cherry Wood and brass.

Citrus Mundi is made up of seven olfactory drawings, each one alluding to a citrus family: Citrus paradisi (Grapefruit, Grapefruit), Citrus medica (Cidro, Citron), Citrus sinensis (Orange, Orange), Citrus reticulata (Mandarin, Tangerine), Citrus aurantifolia (Acid Lime, Acid Lime), Citrus limon (Lemon, Lemon) and Citrus Hstrix (Lima Makrut, Makrut Lime).

Fortier created this work after a visit to the Fundació Todolí Citrus, which has more than four hundred varieties of citrus. With these seven drawings he wants to represent the aroma of the fruits that were in the citrus garden, as a form of memory and narration of the memory of that visit through the perfume that emerges from the drawings.
