The camera tracks sideways at a constant rate, parallel to the shelf and at a fixed distance. Rows of cloth-bound books pass through frame, gilt titles catching the light one after another, a single gap where one volume is missing. A warm lamp raking along the spines, deep shadow above and below, oxblood and faded green. Interior film, 50mm, shallow depth. Perfectly parallel travel, no drift toward or away. About 10 seconds. <a quiet room, a distant clock>. No music.
