Sharpest Point: Laura Marks on Brothers Quay

Read essay by Laura Marks "Institute Benjamenta: an olfactory view", a discussion of how the Brothers Quay presented the sense of smell through their live action film.
Interesting notes: page 131, "...haptic images have the effect of overwhelming vision and spilling into other sense perceptions." Page 132, interesting notes on perfume. Page 136, entire last paragraph discusses the brothers in terms of how they practice subjectivity and links this to their disavowal of authorship and refusal to be analyzed as being identical twin.
