The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

The film is a direct video copy of various painted images. It transfers ideas about postmodern copying and touch into video form.

What happens

Post-painting er en film med ukendt instruktør. POST-PAINTING er direkte kopiering: THE COPY WITH THE FEELING OF TOUCH. Malede versioner af alle slags billeder som f.eks. Guernica og Hjort ved en skovsø, Tivoli og graffiti, broderede duge og NEUEN WILDEN. POST-PAINTING er blevet betegnet som post-modernisme i yderste konsekvens, og dette er et forsøg på at overføre ideerne til video og skal ses som et supplement til udstillingen.
