Martynka Wawrzyniak - Smell Me - Envoy Enterprises
About a year ago I went to a group show at Bullet Space. I had seen Martynka Wawrzyniak's film "Chocolate" on the internet, loved it, and I was excited to see it projected. While at the show I was thrilled to meet Richard Kern (Martynka's husband) who's one of my favorite photographers. While speaking with him he mentioned that Martynka had begun work on a project in which she would chemically reproduce the smells of her body and present them as a gallery show. I loved the idea but it seemed impossible to me that such a show could actually be practically realized. Who would dare to stage a show in which the primary product was to experience a smell?
