Jean-Claude Ellena
The Diary of a Nose
Particular Books
Not so common way for a graphic designer to focus their senses on the noses. While every olfactory impression is in fact powerful on visuals. For me this book is a journey to reconnect my senses. When visible art meets invisible something fascinating must be found!
"I don't feel comfortable talking about pleasure; I find it easier to talk about desire. Since I started composing perfumes I've learned, I've invented 'catchphrase-smells', like the first sentence, the first notes of a piece of music, the initial images that are reworked at length to capture a reader's, a listener's, a spectator's attention."
