In this fictitious Smell Scape, where Nosework Training is conducted, 34 usual and unusual smells that are difficult to experience in olfactory products are visualized and randomly installed in the form of Smell Balls.
The smells that Kim composed or collected consist of familiar and unfamiliar random scents that obviously exist in the world, not explained by the pleasant/unpleasant dichotomy.

To explore the space, the audience is required to actively engage by sniffing around, lying down, crawling, and sometimes stopping still.

Fishy smell of river, smell of leather, smell of paper, freshly cut grass, milk, box tape, wet soil, dust, ginseng, steel, concrete, old wood, etc.
