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 from Denmark shows random fragments of architecture like houses, a tent, and a bridge through uneven exposures shot at night. It compresses time to create a ghostly study of urban spaces and the passage of time.

What happens

Arkitektur er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1999 instrueret af Jesper Fabricius efter eget manuskript. Tilfældige arkitekturfragmenter set i komprimeret tid – huse, bygninger, et telt, en bro i ujævne eksponeringer. En undersøgelse af tid i byens spøgelsesagtige rum. Enkel, poetisk, melankolsk. Optaget om natten. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
