The lure of the immortal, death and the maiden, and the fascinating language of funerary flowers will be revealed in this haunting exploration of art, fashion, music, film, and fragrance; where artists throughout history have pondered the fragrance of otherworldly realms, the conjuring of phantoms, and the scented seduction of the eternal.
Alexis Karl is a multimedia artist and perfumer who lectures regularly on the cultural relevance of fragrance at the Metropolitan Museum, teaches "The Art of Perfume" at School of Visual Arts, and has held talks on fragrance and art at the Guggenheim Museum and NYU. Ms. Karl is the perfumer and founder of Scent By Alexis, an artisanal fragrance line based on art and literature, and is a perfumer and co-owner of House of Cherry Bomb fragrance line. In addition to fragrance, Karl is an exhibiting multimedia artist and performer of gothic music. Her dark music projects, Ondyne's Demise and Anima Animus Animal, are represented by Onyudo Records and employ film, dance, aerial and fire spinning along with scent diffusions in live performances. Karl has exhibited and performed internationally and in the States, most notable performances at the Whitney Biennial, Guggenheim Museum and 17th. Century Trinity Church in Manchester, UK.
