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

A fixed camera observes a scene of chaos. The viewer watches how people connect, both along familiar paths and outside public view. The experience is described as moving through a vast still image, with hope and bare flesh.

What happens

Other traces er en film instrueret af Knud Vesterskov, Lene Børglum. Betragteren må bevæge sig ind i et fixérbillede af tumult og derinde lægge mærke til, hvordan folk kan finde sammen. Der er de slagne veje, men også de ANDRE SPOR. De andre spor vi må gå ad, udenfor offentligheden. Vi må blæse gennem et kæmpestort fixérbillede - kun iført håb og hud... kød og gråd.
