This exhibit speaks volumes to me. I've spent countless hours rummaging through antique stores, hunting and collecting rare antiquarian books. Paul Schutze combined old books with scent to remind us how the senses of touch and smell play a pertinent role on our unconscious mind.
I'm mourning the loss of the "classic" book. There's something to say about nestling in a corner with your favorite read. Whether it's pages have that faint musky decaying smell or feel of crisp fresh new it evokes an emotional experience that last forever.
For the Bibliophiles...
