it’s absolutely beautiful, and perverted. i was entranced the moment we stepped into the studio, everything feels so surreal, so intimate and suffocating. the intense obsession and their ultimate descent into madness while trying desperately to transcend their “world of touch” is almost poetic, im inlove , sadomasochism wins

“All of the degradation is driven by the human mind. Worse than the devil, worse than the darkness primeval is our own insatiable depravity.”

I’m blind. I was born with damaged optic nerves. I’m totally blind.> Being blind is miserable. From listening to people and braille books, I can picture much of the world’s beauty.

The sunlight, the color of clouds, splendid scenery, and the beauty of works of art, plays, movies, even TV.

But I cannot see a thing. > All that is left for the blind is sound, smell, taste and our sense of touch. > Sounds are like the wind, no satisfaction. Smells are also useless. Human noses aren’t sensitive like dogs’ noses. Food merely serves to fill our bellies.

But what I have discovered is that touch is the only way to amuse us. Our one tactile satisfaction. Touch is the only sense worth anything to me. I’ve touched everything I can. I liked the feeling of touching animals best. They’re so warm and soft. I’ve had dogs and cats to stroke. I’ve been to a farm to play with sheep and horses. However, no animal can compare to human flesh. Especially the feel of women’s bodies.
