| "Rorschach
Striptease" is a 25-minute color video featuring five segments of men and
women, in silhouette, joyously stripping off their clothes to the rhythm of an
original dance soundtrack. A special effect makes the images appear in mirrored
form. Shot against a bright flat background upon which are projected a variety of undulating colors unique to each segment, the film employs a split screen device which reverses one-half of the dancer's image so as to make each dancer appear to be two individuals --a moving Rorschach ink blot upon which to project our fantasies.
Celebrating the sensual and sexual, the non-professional dancers move as they
wish, sometimes "mirroring" the techniques of professional ecdysiasts.
A flat black shape in a throbbing field of color, each moving body continues to
collide upon and swallow parts of itself, only to be reconstituted: a head is
decapitated, then returns, a neck turns into a pin, and morphs into a Hindu god.
We see what is before us and what is not. Edition
