Trickster Theory
Trickster Theory
2002, English. Directed by Pierre Joseph & Mehdi Belhaj Kacem.
Part of the No Ghost Just a Shell series, this video installation brings philosophy into dialogue with the virtual character Annlee. Drawing on Belhaj‑Kacem’s Trickster Theory, the work positions Annlee as a “trickster” figure—simultaneously created and agentic, structured and subversive. The video examines identity, authorship, and the game-like dynamics of virtual existence, exploring how a character bound by commercial and artistic frameworks might assert a form of strategic freedom. Through sound, text, and visual minimalism, it turns Annlee’s supposed “shell” into a stage for critique, ambiguity, and philosophical inquiry.
