"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.
