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.

What happens

Count on love er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1995, der er instrueret af Nikolaj Recke. Nikolaj Recke har som billedkunstner arbejdet med en skæv, ofte ironisk, vinkel på kunstens præsentationsformer. I flere værker har han anvendt fiktionen som et værktøj til at demaskere den konceptuelle seriøsitet i det 20. århundredes modernisme. Han sætter sin egen person ind som agerende "formidler" i små narrative forløb, som her i Count on Love, et ganske enkelt situationsspil om kærligehden, hvor der krydsklippes mellem blot to indstillinger.
