0. SCENOGRAPHY / INTRODUCTION TO THE PIECE What is the image recording of glass? Designed by Carl Theodor Höijer (only son and hoped-for business descendant of frame and mirror manufacturer Henrik Höijer), 4 caryatids (architecture, geometry, painting, sculpture) and Pallas Athene (goddess of wisdom, strategy, struggle, art) flank a matt window of the Ateneum. Glass panels chop the mirror images of the sky. CLIFFHANGER: The Oodi Library also stages images as tiles.

TRACKING SHOT: Since images always run with a moving body, is glass film/cinema? 1. SPATIAL GYMNASTICS: (A recast of) the Savoy-Vase (1936) by Aino and Alvar Aalto is a compass to navigate space choreographies of glass in original and contemporary Nordic Funkis. I am a director of a piece. The piece enacts space constructed by glass.
