ECAL presents Under Your Smell at Gallery X by Parco in Tokyo. In collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier, Bachelor Photography students propose their interpretation of the brand's perfumes through an immersive exhibition celebrating gender diversity and new definitions of beauty.
Under the guidance of Florence Tétier (Creative Director of the brand) and Nicolas Coulomb (Photographer, Consultant for Novembre Magazine), the students of ECAL Bachelor Photography visually reinterpreted Jean Paul Gaultier’s “perfume,” and sublimated into an anthem for gender diversity and a new definition of beauty. Starting at the Jean Paul Gaultier HQ in Paris (2022), the exhibition toured to Art Basel Miami Beach (2022) and Photo Elysée in Lausanne (2023) before finally being presented for the first time in Asia, at Shibuya PARCO.
This project is being carried out with the support of the Swiss Embassy in Japan, as part of the Vitality.Swiss programme celebrating 160 years of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Japan.
