Catalogue Vol. 4

Catalogue is a series of 16mm films and videos that consider the time it takes to look at desirable objects, in this case, the objects for sale in a mainstream furniture catalogue of knockoff designs. Catalogue Vol. 4 takes the “Lighting” catalogue as its subject and uses a pulse of electronic sound and light to rep- resent each fixture, shot in the order that they were found in the original catalogue. The intervals of black were derived by a matter of taste: items that the filmmaker found less appealing were excised from the sequence.
