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

Cornucopia is a 2025 documentary concert film by Björk based on the eponymous concert tour (2019–2023), which debuted as a residency at The Shed in New York City before traveling the world and concluding four years later. Conceived around songs from her ninth studio album Utopia (2017), the setlist also includes songs from Vulnicura (2015) and Fossora (2022). The film chronicles a performance of the show at the Altice Arena in Lisbon, Portugal, directed by Icelandic filmmaker Ísold Uggadóttir, with Björk billed as "sound and visual director". The movie overlays the performances with the visuals that were projected on the screens on the background of the live setting, which were created by German artist Tobias Gremmler and several others, including Andrew Thomas Huang, Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones. A shortened version of the movie was released on Apple Music and Apple TV+ on 24 January 2025. The full-length theatrical version of the film premiered at the Smárabíó cinema in Iceland on 1 February 2025, and it was released worldwide on 7 May 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
