Polizeiruf 110 is a long-running German language detective television series. The first episode was broadcast 27 June 1971 in the German Democratic Republic, and after the dissolution of Fernsehen der DDR the series was picked up by ARD. It was originally created as a counterpart to the West German series Tatort, and quickly became a public favorite.

"As for the look, I was inspired by certain European b-movies from the 1970s and their soft and hazy yet at the same time creepy (and oftentimes deadly) sensuality, such as the Czech New Wave film VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS, the German arthouse vampire film JONATHAN and of course Jean Rollin’s many tales of vampire girls!" - Gloria de Oliveira.

Shot on analogue 16mm film, STUDIO examines facets of surfaces, materiality, traces and marks. Confronting film studio and gym, the film deals with emotional as well as physical exposure. Everything becomes a performance: actions, emotions, expectations and gender.
