La esencia de Ernesto
Àlex Remadaker
Documentary. Spain. 2022. 30min
This ensemble documentary includes the participation of different testimonies to present a journey through the life of the famous perfumer Ernesto Ventós. Deaf since childhood, Ventós concentrated his efforts on developing his sense of smell until it became his mantra. His growing interest in art led him to incorporate the olfactory organ into his work, as well as into a discourse that influenced those who merely created through touch. Ernesto Ventós’ adventure has continued to this day in order to teach people to “Learn to smell.”
