We shot Lines in Transparency in an office glass building, in Frankfurt am Main. The script was inspired by the novel The Grey Cloth And Ten Percent White: A Ladies Novel, (1910) by the fantasist and visionary writer, Paul Scheerbart.
Clara Krug only dresses in grey with ten percent white, a contract made with her husband, Mr. Krug, a famous glass architect. Clara is living in his glass architecture.
The sound poem KIKAKUKO! performed by Stephanie Engel, is written by the same author.
