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

This experimental film shows naked women in poses inspired by classic artworks. The director manipulates the film material to create a dense and murky visual world.

What happens

Secession er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1996 instrueret af Jesper Fabricius efter eget manuskript. Med levende billeder af nøgne kvinder skaber instruktøren et pirrende og dunkelt univers af noget allerede kendt og helt nyt. Vi aner dem - gående, siddende, liggende, forsvindende - i klassiske positurer med henvisninger til billedkunstens skatkammer; Goya, Duchamp, André Kertésc, Man Ray, Richard Winther m.fl. En eksperimentalfilm, der har opnået sin mættede stoflighed ved forskellige manipulationer af selve det filmiske materiale i fremkalderprocessen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
