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 young Danish person named Oliver feels trapped in a body that does not match his inner identity as a man. He binds his chest and lowers his voice before stepping outside, beginning the process of creating a new self.

What happens

Dreng er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2013 instrueret af Julie Bezzera Madsen. Oliver er en dreng på 20 år, der er fanget i sin egen krop. Indeni føler han sig som en dreng, men udenpå er han en pige. Når han ser ned af sig selv, føles alt forkert. Så brysterne spændes ind og stemmen sænkes, før han går ud af sin dør. "Hvad tænker du om mig, når du ser mig?" spørger han. Skabelsen af en ny identitet er kun lige begyndt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
