"The Paintbrush of Smells" is the first part of "I talked to quadrupeds, birds and fishes". This work is based upon the book of the Austrian ethnologian Konrad Lorenz, who stated that certain human needs originate from bestiality. They express themselves in harmless behavioural phenomena such as scent.
