A video performance using the nurse as a feminine archetype, blending found audio from dating app voice prompts to
critique contemporary American masculinity and its impact on the cultural construction of femininity.
​
Debate Bros is a single-channel video performance in which Carlton performs as three characters; a nurse and two male patients. The nurse, historically linked to the feminine archetypes of both sex symbol and caretaker, is styled with visual cues that recall cinematic depictions that complicate these ideas. The two male patients perform voices and personas influenced by found audio of men's voice prompts on the dating app, Hinge.
