Pool is an offbeat fragrance by Sean Raspet, created for the Reader’s third issue Acid Interiors. Unisex and wearable, this perfume replicates the smells of a public pool: sunscreen, gas, insect repellant, and all.
Sean Raspet (b.1981, Washington, DC) lives and works in Los Angeles. Recent solo exhibitions include “Deformulation” at Societé, Berlin; a two-person exhibition at Chateau Shatto with Kelly Akashi; and “Residuals” at Jessica Silverman, San Francisco. Raspet’s practice engages the fluid materiality of industrial production and financial abstraction, often employing chemicals such as artificial flavorings and synthetic gases.
