36.5 Scent

As an addition to the first exhibition of the films by artist Sarah Cameron Sunde in Brooklyn NY, Frank designed a scent to go along with watching the extended video installation of 6 lengthly videos of the artist standing in waters all over the world. The scent helped the audience to be more in the situation and stay longer with the video works.

Polyester, Altered States Festival

The first (and probably last) odorama film is called Polyester. I is a film about the downfall of an urban house wife, played by dragqueen Divine. The film was written and directed by John Waters. A scratch and sniff card with 10 smells was handed out to the moviegoers and was available for homeviewers when it aired on television. Frank recreated the smells and presented them during the screening of the film when it was shown as part of the Altered States Festival.
