Each film takes one volume of the 11-volume mail order catalogue as its subject. 'Catalogue Vol. 6' was shot with audio clips from a horror movie that mention the words 'house' or particular rooms, or 'upstairs' etc. playing in the studio so that each shot acquired a random diegetic 'soundtrack'. Then the film clips were organized as a 'tour' through the rooms of a house.
