17/68 Green - Red

Kren filmed, in microscopic detail the reflection and refraction of the light in/on a glass bottle. However, the bottle itself (the whole body) is never seen. What is seen is much more the emanations of light from the glass and its clarity.
(Michael Palm)

Hans Scheugl: They say you were drunk when you filmed Grün - rot (Green - Red). Is that right?

Kren: I´m not sure if it was that film or not. Grün - rot was not filmed in one day, but in the course of many days. It wasn´t that easy. The whole thing was filmed in single frames while I was moving up and down. It was physically very exhausting to make this film. The lighting changes from artificial light to sunlight, which causes a change in the colors.
