44 mins in there is a great little paper trick wherein a posterboard size sheet blows off the plinth, out of camera for a second or two only to return to the plinth, slamming into our plinther. That was kind of fucking amazing. Missed the beginning but this guy tells an interesting story I'll have to go back to catch once archived: www.oneandother.co.uk/participants/Douglas_K
Update - Watched again and the great story begins at the 10:15 mark. Make sure you have some time because it'll take 20 mins to complete and you should really watch in one sitting. The content and pacing oddly work perfectly together. The simple signs, handwritten letters in black floating loosely on a large white space works beautifully as well. Some complex emotions boiled down to a simple short story. I have to say I really, really enjoyed that bit.
And it isn't over yet - I revisited the posterboard trick and it is amazing. 43:20 in one sheet slips free and blows off camera. At 43:59 I believe the posterboard slips free of the net / light on the front corner and finally begins its descent heading toward the fountain below. It goes off camera briefly only to return at 44:12, having caught an updraft, slamming into Douglas. Watch it again and marvel at the chances of paperboard making that circuitous route back to the plinth. That is fucking amazing! Would love to see another camera angle of that.
