If Brains Were Dynamite, You Wouldn't Have Enough to Blow Your Nose

This documentary focuses on Mark Trent, an artist whose work starkly depicts the mutilations of the human form through his shocking plastic resin sculptures. It delves into his creative process and the societal responses he faced, particularly after a controversial exhibition in Toronto that led him to relocate to Berlin.

The film provides insight into Trent's artistic motivations and the broader implications of his work. It examines both the environmental themes in his art and the personal challenges he confronted as an artist grappling with societal perceptions. This documentary appeals to collectors interested in avant-garde art, environmental issues, and the intersection of art and activism during the 1970s.
