A digital reconstruction of a standardized wooden IKEA TRYGGVE shelf in animated form. Drawing on formalist vocabulary, the video undertakes an in-depth examination of the object through its virtual rendering alone. It presents a rich cinematic reconstruction, informed by a close inspection of the shelf's physical properties, imparting a seductive representation of the real and designating technology as an active agent in achieving transcendence.
