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 man recalls a journey he took in the early 1990s through Central Europe, moving from the Baltic Sea through Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. He pieces together his memories with the help of video tapes from the trip. Two women from the journey play a role in his recollections.

What happens

Traveller's Tale er en rejsefilm fra 1994 instrueret af Lars Johansson efter manuskript af Lars Johansson. Alt, hvad jeg så, så jeg én gang og aldrig mere. Det er i virkeligheden så enkelt. Man forsvinder hele tiden, og man aner ikke, hvor det hele er på vej hen. En mand genkalder sig en rejse. En rejse, han foretog i begyndelsen af 1990'erne, et par år efter murens fald. En rejse, hvor to kvinder kom til at spille en rolle. En rejse fra Østersøen gennem det centrale Østeuropa: Polen, Slovakiet, Ungarn, Rumænien. I begyndelsen er erindringsstrømmen flimrende, kaotisk, men nogle videobånd fra rejsen dengang støtter hukommelsen, og der kommer en slags orden på fragmenterne. I erindringen rejser han igen.
