This Is the Trick
Two voices argue about what they believe to be important. Both characters think they know something the other doesn’t. One is preoccupied with trying to understand and categorise qualities like charisma, intelligence and beauty, using examples from popular culture and academia to construct flawed arguments. The other longs for something solid and honest, although this might be just as much of a fantasy. The characters use the space of the video screen to make their case, piecing together found footage, YouTube comments, natural landscapes and home furnishings.
