Chih-Chien Wang
Montreal, Quebec.
Before entering a portable toilet, people tend to brace themselves for what they are about to inhale. The 10 fixtures of this piece, however, are designed for more poetic than practical purposes. Filled with unlikely materials and scents, their aromas conjure up landscapes, characters and events from Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy and logic-twister Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Rather than journeying down a rabbit-hole, visitors engage in their own adventures by just opening the door. Visual, textual, and olfactory clues may coalesce – or not – posing evocative sensory conundrums to ponder and explore.
