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

Axiome est un documentaire français réalisé par Tom Hanson, sorti en 2004. De nos jours, quelque part entre les puissantes montagnes de Perse, du Caucase, et d’Asie mineure… Un auteur réalisateur qui souhaite faire un documentaire imagine un personnage qui n’existe pas et qui a la faculté de voyager à travers les corps. Ce dernier va tour à tour incarner un jeune paysan qui rêve de fuir la campagne pour des espaces plus urbains, une prostituée violée, un client narcissique, un artiste déchu et enfin un déserteur résistant.
