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

Three short animated films drawn directly on paper with pencil and charcoal. They explore the relationship between human figures and clouds, with images fading in and out as the drawings are erased and redone.

What happens

3tsu no kumo (3つの雲?), conosciuto anche col titolo di Trilogy about Clouds, è una raccolta di cortometraggi anime ideati e diretti da Naoyuki Tsuji. Il tema centrale dell'opera risiede nel rapporto fra l'uomo e le nuvole. La particolare tecnica di animazione adottata prevede l'utilizzo della matita e del carboncino, con il progressivo disegno e cancellazione dei tratti sul foglio, fotogramma dopo fotogramma.
