Religious objects such as crosses, crucifixes, rosaries, and figures of saints and icons are usually referred to as devotional objects. These relics are used for remembrance and private prayer. In contrast, Maria Hahnenkamp’s series of works of perfume devotional objects (starting in 1993) consists of satin or felt beds taken from different types of packaging with recesses for bottles and soaps. The empty spaces allude to the absence of the perfume bottle and, by association, to the absent, seductively fragrant female body. What remains is merely the ideal substitute in the form of an emptied object. The image—or rather the imprint—of the woman is thus inscribed into this hollow space, which the artist has placed in a golden frame.
