Intouchable (l’Idéal transparence et l’Architecture de verre) offers a theoretical, artistic and literary exploration of the question of transparency and its offshoots (opacity, reflection) as an underlying yet potent scenario of the xx^th century.

The work includes a complete re-edition and new translation of Paul Scheerbart's seminal text L’Architecture de verre (Glasarchitektur) (1910) – political, moral and poetic manifesto which is also utopic, crazed and eccentric, supplemented here with essays by Philippe Duboy, Guillaume Désanges, François Piron and Marcus Steinweg, as well as a rich iconography of xx^th and xxi^st century artworks playing with or interpreting the ideal of transparency around notions such as eroticism, the service economy, distanciation and hygiene, as well as fragmentation and disappearance.
