A classic high-class striptease performance takes it's time. Anticipation is at the heart of the experience and transforms what could be an instant gratification into a sensual process of revelation.
The film is involved with self-revelation and the tender process of transformation and the connections these things have with sexuality. Striptease is a diagram of time elapsing; a pattern of duration.

The piece uses technology very simply, which holds a great deal of appeal for me generally. Each picture has it's own audio track, so a different number of images, or a different delay between each image creates both a different film and automatically a different soundtrack.

Striptease was originally made in response to a commission from Tank in 1999 and has since featured in various printed publications and screened as part of group Tank screenings including one at the ICA, London. This new version was made and screened in a private group show in London, March 08.
