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

Everyday domestic spaces are stripped down to shapes and surfaces. Heavy editing removes familiar details leaving near abstract images.

What happens

Surround Me er en eksperimentalfilm fra 1999 instrueret af Karin Lind efter eget manuskript. En afsøgning af hverdagens rum, hvor hjemmets omgivelser reduceres til strukturer og overflader. De mest genkendelige elementer udelades, de stærkt redigerede billeder leder væk fra det velkendte og lader et næsten abstrakt billedforløb stå tilbage. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
