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 Danish short film from 2001 about how new spaces and identities emerge from divisions and dissolutions. A video film is incomplete and a photo series takes its place, with both forms making up parts of the story.

What happens

Den halverede skytte er en dansk kortfilm fra 2001 med instruktion og manuskript af Mikkel Olaf Eskildsen. Installationen består af en videofilm og en fotoserie. De to udtryksformer udgør hver en del af handlingen. Handlingens omdrejningspunkt er, at nye rum og nye identiteter udspringer af halveringer og opløsninger. Filmen er ufuldstændig og fotoserien substituerer filmen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
